Over the past few decades, advances in pharmacological, catheter-based, and surgical
reperfusion have improved outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarctions …

Importance Mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction include left ventricular
free-wall rupture, ventricular septal rupture, papillary muscle rupture, pseudoaneurysm, and …

Left ventricular free-wall rupture is one of the most fatal complications after acute myocardial
infarction. Surgical treatment of post-infarction left ventricular free-wall rupture has evolved …

Background Left ventricular free-wall rupture (LVFWR) is an uncommon but serious
mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. Surgical repair, though challenging …

Background Left ventricular free‐wall rupture (LVFWR) is one of the most lethal
complications after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The optimal therapeutic strategy is …

Background Mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction represent life-
threatening events, including ventricular septal rupture (VSR), left ventricular free-wall …

Objective Left ventricular free wall rupture is a catastrophic complication of acute myocardial
infarction. Sutureless repair has been reported to be an effective surgical procedure for left …

Abstract Aims Mechanical complications (MCs) are rare but potentially fatal sequelae of
acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Surgery, though challenging, is considered the treatment …

Aims Mechanical complications (MC)(ie, free wall rupture (FWR), papillary muscle rupture
(PMR) and ventricular septal rupture (VSR)) are rare complications of ST-elevation acute …

Background Mechanical complications following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), though
rare, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Surgical management remains a …
