| Abstrakt: | Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a rare but serious complication following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), occurring in a small fraction of patients. Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture presents as three types: There are three types of Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture: Type 1 with an abrupt tear and high mortality, Type 2 with a slower tear, and Type 3 with aneurysm perforation. Despite reperfusion therapies, LVFWR remains concerning due to increased mortality described from 75% to 90%. We present a case of LVFWR in a 64-year-old with a history of previous aortic valve surgery and heart failure, managed through left thoracotomy surgical repair. Our approach led to successful repair, emphasizing collaborative intraoperative strategies for improved outcomes in LVFWR cases.
