Implication

Vigilance for rare mechanical complications remains warranted post-MI; this case leaves open questions on prevention and management.

Structured PICO

Population

81-year-old woman presenting with dyspnea, inferolateral ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and subsequent ventricular double rupture.

Intervention

Bivalirudin bolus, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, emergency pericardiocentesis, and intra-aortic balloon pump placement.

Outcome

Survival/mortality (patient died as operative repair was not feasible)hard clinical

This case highlights the rare and highly fatal complication of ventricular double rupture after MI, emphasizing the need for vigilance regarding mechanical complications during primary PCI for STEMI.
