A Rare Ischemic Complication: Tricuspid Pillar Rupture after Anterior Myocardial Infarction

“…This was the case for 2 reported patients, who benefited from the treatment of the culprit ischemic lesions with a surgical repair of a ruptured tricuspid papillary muscle as well as a ruptured ventricular septum. The patients died of multiorgan failure [19,20]. And like with our patient, the prognosis remains fatal, especially in old patients with heart failure and probably chronic myocardial ischemia.…”

Percutaneous Closure of Post Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture in an Unstable Hemodynamic State, Using an Unconventional Internal Jugular venous access;

“…management (2). ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon and lethal incidence that may lead patients to severe hemodynamic instability (2,3).…”

“…management (2). ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon and lethal incidence that may lead patients to severe hemodynamic instability (2,3). The possibility of post-MI cardiac rupture was reported about 3% to 6% (4,5).…”
