Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: Left ventricular free wall rupture is a major complication after myocardial infarction. Simple gluing for a rupture site, without a cardiopulmonary bypass, has been reported useful. METHODS: We experienced a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, of 8 cm in size, emerging at a previous rupture site 1 year after gluing with TachoComb for an oozing-type rupture due to an acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction. RESULTS: The pseudoaneurysm was successfully extirpated, under a cardiopulmonary bypass, with induction of ventricular fibrillation. CONCLUSIONS: Patients, after simple gluing for a left ventricular free wall rupture, should be carefully followed up regarding the occurrence of a pseudoaneurysm at the repair site.
