  • Title: Cardiac rupture with false aneurysm after myocardial infarction.
    Author: Woo KS, Agnew TM, Graham KJ.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1976 Apr 14; 83(561):230-2. PubMed ID: 1066536.
    Abstract:
    A case of cardiac rupture is reported after myocardial infarction. Leaking blood was contained within the pericardium and a false aneurysm developed. Ten months later this was successfully repaired. The neck of the aneurysm was transected, the defect in the left ventricle closed and saphenous vein bypass grafts were applied to the anterior descending and right coronary arteries. The literature on this subject is briefly reviewed.
