Abstract
- A 48-year-old female with chest pain was diagnosed with an inferoposterior wall myocardial infarction. A moderate pericardial effusion was revealed on two-dimensional echocardiography. Post-thrombolysis, the patient experienced persistent chest pain. In view of the possibility of a sealed myocardial rupture, the patient underwent coronary CT angiography (CTA). The rupture was confirmed via CTA, and the coronary anatomy was delineated. The patient underwent pericardial patch repair with good results.
