Rupture of the ventricular wall is a highly lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction that is diagnosed more frequently with the increased use of two-dimensional echocardiography. External patching techniques were used to treat 4 patients with ventricular rupture, thus avoiding resection of necrotic myocardium. Three of the patients survived. One patient developed a large left ventricular pseudoaneurysm requiring reoperation. The other 2 patients had intact repairs on follow-up echocardiogram obtained after 5 weeks and 3 years, respectively. With prompt recognition and treatment, patient survival and excellent short-term results can be achieved.
