Case Report (n=1)
Bedside contrast-enhanced echocardiography can rapidly confirm acute left ventricular free-wall rupture, enabling immediate life-saving surgical treatment.
Okabe et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Left ventricular free-wall rupture (n=1). Contrast-enhanced echocardiography was evaluated. Bedside contrast-enhanced echocardiography successfully confirmed acute left ventricular free-wall rupture in a 59-year-old woman, enabling rapid surgical repair after 500 mL pericardiocentesis.
