Background: Cardiac rupture is a rare but potentially lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction with ST-elevation (STEMI). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is a preferable treatment method of acute STEMI. Reperfusion at vascular and myocardial levels may be the key parameters determining probability of cardiac rupture. Aim: To analyse the relationship between reperfusion parameters and cardiac rupture occurrence in a group of patients with STEMI treated with pPCI. Methods: Twenty three patients with cardiac rupture were selected out of 2800 patients with acute STEMI hospitalised and treated with pPCI from 2000 to 2007. Free wall or interventricular septum rupture was diagnosed on echocardiography or autopsy. The co...
