  • Title: Salvagable free wall rupture of the left ventricle.
    Author: Caleb MG, Mak KH.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2002 Dec; 43(12):640-2. PubMed ID: 12693770.
    Abstract:
    Free wall rupture of the left ventricle remains a lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Nevertheless, where it presents subacutely with tamponade, salvage with a good outcome is still possible with timely pericardiocentesis preceding definitive repair using a sutureless technique.
