title: [Successful new method for surgery of the postinfarctional left ventricular free wall rupture].
abstract: Authors discuss a history of a 78-years old male who suffered from left ventricular free wall rupture due to acute transmural myocardial infarction. Cardiac surgical intervention was carried out immediately after the ECHO examination which established the diagnosis. First time in Hungary authors used a sutureless technique to close the rupture and utilised double component glue and synthetic patch for this purpose. The patient had uneventful recovery and remained free of symptoms throughout his three months period of follow up. Current available data and knowledge are summarised about this life threatening disease.
