Abstract EN

A 77-year-old man, with a recent history of an acute inferior myocardial infarction, was referred to our hospital with echocardiographic and clinical signs of left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR).

The intraoperative finding demonstrated a huge double LVFWR.

The inferoposterior wall was dramatically destroyed without any possibility to repair.
