ABSTRACT
We report a case of blow-out-type left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) after acute myocardial infarction, who presented with unstable hemodynamic condition in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IV. Immediately, we performed a successful LVFWR repair with sutureless technique using a glue and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene patch on cardio-pulmonary bypass support. Postoperative period and recovery was uneventful. Over a period of 2-year follow-up, the patient is in NYHA class I and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed adequate left ventricular (LV) function and no evidence of LV aneurysm.
