  • Title: Sutureless technique for subacute left ventricular free wall rupture: A case report of an 85-year-old.
    Author: Iha K, Arakaki K, Horikawa Y, Akasaki M, Kuniyoshi Y, Koja K.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1999 Aug; 5(4):265-8. PubMed ID: 10508954.
    Abstract:
    This case was an 85-year-old female who developed left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) of the anterior wall 13 days after an acute myocardial infarction. She was further complicated with an ascending aortic aneurysm and severe aortic regurgitation. The wall was repaired using a sutureless technique with an autologous pericardial patch and GRF glue without cardiopulmonary bypass. Although the complication of a left ventricular aneurysm was seen, the postoperative course was uneventful. Nevertheless, she is doing well 9 months after surgery.
