| pubmed-article:2767801 | pubmed:abstractText | We report the case of a 73-year-old woman successfully treated for a subacute rupture of the ventricular free wall which occurred on the fourth day after a postero-lateral myocardial infarction. Angiography performed prior to surgical repair revealed the presence of normal coronary arteries. The pathogenetic mechanism of such a happening remains uncertain, but the role of abrupt recanalization must be considered. | lld:pubmed |
