Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a catastrophic mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) that can result in acute heart failure. Delaying operative intervention frequently leads to cardiogenic shock and multi-organ failure. Here we report a case of massive anterior MI complicated with VSR that was discovered through cardiac Doppler ultrasound and suspected multiple organ hemorrhage. The patient showed signs of rapid cardiogenic shock and eventually died. The morphological changes of VSR and MI were identified during necropsy, and microscopic examinations of the heart, brain, and kidney revealed multiple organ hemorrhage. This autopsy case suggested that the complication of VSR caused by AMI results in a reduction of oxygen and nutrient content of the circulating blood throughout the body and, eventually, functional failure of multiple organs. We provide clinical and pathological evidence elucidating changes in multiple organs under the severe condition of post-infarction VSR and demonstrate the consequences of a lack of immediate surgery and sufficient medical intervention for a patient suffering from AMI with VSR. |
