โœฆ Synopsis

Ventricular rupture following acute myocardial infarction usually leads to hemopericardium and death from cardiac tamponade. We describe a patient who had cardiac rupture during direct angioplasty for reinfarction 3 days following an acute anterior myocardial infarction. In this instance, ventricular rupture presented as a severe form of reperfusion injury. The current literature on reperfusion injury and risk factors for cardiac rupture are discussed.

Coronary pacing has been performed to treat bradycardias occurring during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) using an angioplasty guidewire. We describe a case of a 62-year-old man who developed ventricular tachycardia (VT) during PTCA. The tachycardia was successfully terminated
