Coronary Angioplasty Reduces Free Wall Rupture and Improves Mortality and Morbidity of Acute Myocardial Infarction

08/01/2008

Free wall rupture (FWR) is one of the major causes of mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).1–3 Acute free wall rupture leads to cardiac tamponade, rapid hemodynamic deterioration and almost instantaneous death. Previous studies...
