ABSTRACT
Left ventricular (LV) rupture is a common cause of death following myocardial infarction, but it is rarely noted following coronary bypass surgery. This is true despite the increasing number of coronary bypass operations performed for postinfarction angina, often following transmural infarction. A 59-year-old woman underwent successful repair of left ventricular free-wall rupture that occurred after coronary surgery performed for postinfarction angina. To our knowledge, this is the first report to establish the feasibility of successful surgical repair of left ventricular free-wall rupture in the postoperative patient with tamponade or intrathoracic bleeding.
