Abstract
In an era of early and invasive therapeutic approaches, myocardial rupture has become an uncommon complication of myocardial infarction. While septal wall rupture most often leads to devastating haemodynamic consequences, free wall rupture is usually fatal. We report a case of a 48-year-old man in whom an incomplete myocardial rupture located in the inferior part of the interventricular septum was promptly detected during the acute phase of an inferior myocardial infarction treated by early percutaneous coronary angioplasty. A conservative rather than a surgical approach was decided with a favourable short-term outcome.
