Abstract
Cardiac rupture is a rare but fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), often with devastating hemodynamic consequences. Although the incidence has been reduced with the practice of reperfusion therapy, it still carries a high mortality rate of over 50%. Isolated right ventricular free wall rupture (RVFWR) is a rare entity with very few previously reported cases, and survival after RVFWR due to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with a conservative therapeutic strategy is extremely rare. Here, we presented two cases of RVFWR secondary to AMI, treated conservatively and survived.
