A 69-year-old male was referred to our cath lab for primary percutaneous coronary intervention due to acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Left coronary angiography revealed acute occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending artery. After several additional diagnostic procedures and implantation of a drug-eluting stent, an abrupt clinical deterioration manifested with sudden hypotension. There was evidence of cardiac tamponade, and the constant supply of blood from the pericardium along with the development of cardiogenic shock state led us to suspect cardiac laceration. This imaging series illustrates a heart team operating in vivo on a rare acute myocardial infarction mechanical complication, which occurred soon after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. |
