Abstract

Here we report a case of posterior left ventricular (LV) free wall rupture following postinfarct ventricular septal rupture (VSR). A 58-year-old man was transferred to the hospital under the impression of acute myocardial infarction. Posterior VSR was seen on echocardiographic examination. The intraaortic balloon pump catheter was introduced percutaneously and the emergent operation was proposed. Sudden circulatory collapse was developed shortly after the anesthetic induction and the patient's chest was hurriedly opened while on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The acute cardiac tamponade was seen and the blood was seen pumping from the longitudinal tear at the mid-level of LV posterior wall, measuring 2 cm in length. The cardiopulmonary bypass was set and LV reconstruction was done. The postoperative recovery was delayed due to the brain injury presumably caused by preoperative cardiac arrest.

심실중격파열 및 좌심실자유벽파열은 급성 심근경색의 주요 합병증들 중의 하나이나 이 치명적인 합병증 둘이 모두 동일 환지에서 발생한 소위 심실이중파열에 대한 외과적 치험예는 거의 보고되고 있지 않고 있다. 저자들은 급성심근경색의 합병증으로 발생한 심실중격파열에 이어 좌심실자유벽이 파열된 환자에서 시행된 외과 치험 1예를 보고하고자 한다. 58세 남자가 급성심근경색으로 전원되었다. 심초음파로 후심실중격파열을 진단 후 대동맥내풍선점프를 넣고 응급수술을 계획하였다. 마취 유도 중 갑자기 환자는 순환허탈에 빠져 심장마사지를 하며 개흉하여 혈심낭에 의한 급성 심장압전과 좌심실 후벽 중간 부위에서 혈액을 분출하고 있는 약 2cm 길이의 세로 방향의 파열을 관찰할 수 있었다. 심폐바이패스를 설치, 혈역학을 안정시킨 후 좌심실 재건술을 시행하였다. 환자의 수술 후 경과는 술 전 심장마비로부터 비롯된 것으로 생각되는 뇌손상으로 지연되었다.
