Abstract

We present the case of a 60-year-old man who presented with a post–myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture caused by a delayed presentation of myocardial infarction. Despite revascularization, hemodynamic stability, and a 10-day delay until operative management to allow for tissue healing, the patient experienced a fatal recurrent postoperative ventricular septal rupture. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
