Population

One 87-year-old woman with acute myocardial infarction and left ventricular free wall rupture with pseudoaneurysm formation, treated medically and followed for 24 months.

Intervention

Intense medical treatment (patient refused surgery)

Outcome

Survival and functional status (NYHA class)hard clinical

Medical management alone may be a viable option for left ventricular free wall rupture with pseudoaneurysm in select patients with dense pericardial adhesions from prior surgery who refuse or are unfit for surgical intervention.

Roa-Castro et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial infarction and left ventricular free wall rupture with pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Intense medical treatment was evaluated on Survival and functional class. Intense medical treatment alone resulted in survival and NYHA functional class II at 24-month follow-up in an 87-year-old woman with left ventricular free wall rupture and pseudoaneurysm.
