ABSTRACT
We report a case of left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) in a 57-year-old female who developed an abrupt myocardial infarction. The diagnosis was confirmed using echocardiography. The patient underwent a successful surgical repair involving suturing, patch insertion, and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The present case demonstrates that, while LVFWR is generally deadly, it can be adequately controlled with timely diagnosis and surgical intervention.
Keywords: left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR), Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
