Key result
Off-pump beating-heart surgery successfully treats primary spontaneous coronary artery rupture in a single patient.
Why the study?
Primary spontaneous coronary artery rupture without underlying conditions is rare and often causes hemopericardium with cardiac tamponade requiring immediate pericardial drainage or surgery.

This case demonstrates the feasibility of treating primary spontaneous coronary artery rupture surgically on a beating heart without cardiopulmonary bypass.
Primary spontaneous coronary artery rupture (SCAR) without any underlying condition is a rare disorder. The acute and often dramatic nature of hemopericardium with cardiac tamponade advocates immediate pericardial drainage or surgical intervention with timely recognition of coronary artery rupture. This is the first case report of primary SCAR successfully treated on a beating heart without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Kyung Hwa Kim (2019) conducted a case report in Primary spontaneous coronary artery rupture (SCAR) (n=1). Surgical treatment on a beating heart without cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated. Primary spontaneous coronary artery rupture was successfully treated surgically on a beating heart without cardiopulmonary bypass in a single patient.
