Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a fatal complication. We report emergency surgery for 2 blow out cases and 2 oozing cases during the 5-year period from 2003. After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), subacute thrombosis (SAT) occurred before operation in 2 oozing cases. To the blow out cases, both percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS) and intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) were applied. The actively bleeding site was approximated by a large mattress suture with felt strips. To the oozing cases, only IABP was applied, and sutureless technique was used for hemostasis. They all survived the operation

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007423	Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping	Counterpulsation in which a pumping unit synchronized with the patient's electrocardiogram rapidly fills a balloon in the aorta with helium or carbon dioxide in early diastole and evacuates the balloon at the onset of systole. As the balloon inflates, it raises aortic diastolic pressure, and as it deflates, it lowers aortic systolic pressure. The result is a decrease in left ventricular work and increased myocardial and peripheral perfusion.
