title: [Successful repair of combined ventricular septal rupture and free wall rupture (double rupture); report of a case].
abstract: We report a case of successful surgical repair of combined ventricular septal perforation and blowout free wall cardiac rupture(double rupture) after acute myocardial infarction. The patient was a 59-year old man, who suffered an extensive acute anterior myocardial infarction. Although emergent coronary angiogram and coronary intervention was performed, he collapsed in a state of electro-mechanical dissociation in the catheterization laboratory. He was resuscitated by percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS) and transferred to the operation theater. Infarction exclusion using bovine pericardial patch was performed. He was weaned from PCPS on day 5 after surgery and discharged hospital on day 65 with good health.
