[Fatal ventricular rupture after stent implantation in acute myocardial infarct with subsequent stent thrombosis: discussion of reperfusion injury as the cause].
Ventricular rupture due to myocardial infarction is a well-known but rare complication. Since the introduction of thrombolytics or acute PTCA in the management of acute myocardial infarction, the frequency of this complication has further decreased. A case of lethal ventricular rupture in the course of acute stenting for myocardial infarction, acute stent thrombosis 7 hours after successful intervention, and successful reintervention with intracoronary administration of abciximab is reported. Myocardial rupture as a severe form of reperfusion injury is discussed.
