[Repair of post-infarct left ventricular rupture with pericardial patch].
The devolpment of a left ventricular rupture after myocardial infarction is not a rare complication. We report a case of 70-year-old male patient with clinical and instrumental signs of cardiac tamponade after left ventricular rupture. We repaired this lesion with pericardial patch and biological Glue without extracorporeal circulation and sutureless.
