title: [Surgical salvage of cardiac rupture: a case report].
abstract: A 39-year-old man suffered from acute myocardial infarction. Echo cardiography showed the presence of intra-pericardial fluid. We had emergent operation. We successfully salvaged cardiac rupture with fibrin glue and oxy-cellulose without cardiopulmonary bypass. His post-operative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged on the seventh week after the operation. The problems of acute cardiac rupture were discussed.
