Abstract
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular free wall rupture is a frequent catastrophic complication of acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) and occurs in 1-3% of patients with acute myocardial infarction; it is
the third most common cause of death caused by acute myocardial infarction, too.
CASE REPORT: We describe acute left ventricular free wall rupture due to acute myocardial
infarction in a 60-year-old man. He was survived after urgent surgical intervention.
CONCLUSION: The long-term survivors of free wall rupture repair have not been extensively
reported; early diagnosis is very critical and immediate surgical repair is the treatment of choice.
