High mortality persists despite advances; leaves open need for prospective trials on optimal strategies.
What are the treatment strategies and associated mortality for post-infarction left ventricular free-wall rupture?
Post-infarction left ventricular free-wall rupture remains a highly fatal complication with postoperative in-hospital mortality up to 35% despite evolving surgical and non-surgical techniques.
