• ABSTRACT
    • Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Different modalities of treatment were previously described, including surgical intervention and medical treatment. We report a case treated with intra-pericardial thrombin injection that gave a favourable outcome for a patient who presented with LVFWR and cardiac tamponade, following acute myocardial infarction.
