Ventricular Rupture at the Site of a Septic Myocardial Abscess after Acute Myocardial Infarction

Mechanical complications after acute myocardial infarction are well-described yet catastrophic complications of acute coronary syndromes. Uniquely, we describe a rare case of left ventricular free wall rupture at the site of a septic myocardial abscess after an anterior wall myocardial infarction. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
