Post-myocardial infarction left ventricular septal dissecting aneurysm: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-infarction perforation of the ventricular septum is recognized as a major complication of post-myocardial infarction. However, post-infarction ventricle dissection is seldom reported, as the ventricular shunt often accompanying this condition is a significant cause of cardiogenic shock. We encountered a rare case of ventricular dissection unaccompanied by a shunt, which caused a state of shock.

Case presentation

A 67-year-old man was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction with a left ventricular oozing rupture. The occlusion of the left anterior descending artery was aspirated, followed by drainage of the pericardial bleeding and hemostasis of the left ventricle. After 15 h, he presented with sudden cardiogenic shock requiring extra-corporeal membrane oxy
