Implication

Supports feasibility of early repair for post-MI ventricular rupture; leaves open generalizability and need for prospective data.

Key Points

To report the successful emergency surgical repair of an acute ventricular aneurysm and ruptured interventricular septum following myocardial infarction.
Emergency surgery was performed on a 69-year-old woman presenting with symptoms after myocardial infarction.
The surgical procedure involved resection of the affected ventricular wall and interventricular septum after a 5-hour acute period.
Successful resection of the ventricular wall and interventricular septum was achieved.
The procedure addressed the acute anatomical complications of myocardial infarction, contributing to patient recovery.

Structured PICO

Can early surgical resection successfully treat acute ventricular aneurysm and ruptured interventricular septum complicating myocardial infarction?

Population

1 patient (69-year-old woman) with acute ventricular aneurysm and ruptured interventricular septum after myocardial infarction

Intervention

Early surgical resection of acute infarction of both the ventricular wall and the interventricular septum

Outcome

Successful surgical repair and survival

This case report demonstrates the feasibility of early emergency surgical resection for acute ventricular aneurysm and ruptured interventricular septum complicating myocardial infarction.
