A Case Report: Point-of-care Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture.

Project description:IntroductionVentricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare complication of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), typically discovered post-revascularization.Case reportWe present the first case of VSR detected on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the emergency department immediately prior to emergent angiography, with management positively affected by this discovery. The VSR was quickly confirmed via right heart catheterization. Subsequently, hemodynamic stability was achieved using an intra-aortic balloon pump. A delayed surgical VSR repair, with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting, was implemented for definitive management.ConclusionThis case highlights the utility of POCUS in a STEMI patient with a suspected mechanical complication.

Right Ventricular Free Wall Rupture After Myocardial Infarction.

Project description:This paper describes the case of a 68-year-old man who presented in cardiac tamponade due to a right ventricular free wall rupture after a recent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. After a pericardiocentesis, the ventricular defect resolved spontaneously. The patient was managed medically and avoided surgical intervention. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
