Ventricular double rupture following myocardial infarction: a case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe frequency of mechanical complications related to transmural myocardial infarction (MI) has decreased due to the widespread implementation of reperfusion therapies. However, mortality related to these complications remains high, requiring prompt intervention by a Heart Team. Ventricular double rupture (VDR) is a particularly rare and fatal MI complication. CASE PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old female patient presenting with 3 days of chest pain was diagnosed with ST-elevation MI. She underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention of the left anterior descending artery. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed an apical ventricular septum rupture and a mild pericardial effusion suggestive of free wall rupture. Emergent surgical repair included ventricular septal defect closure with a heterologous pericardial patch and repair of the free wall rupture with Dacron patch placement. Perioperative intraaortic balloon pump support was utilized. The patient had a favorable clinical course and was asymptomatic at her cardiology follow-up.
conclusionsVDR is the combination of two types of mechanical complications of MI. High clinical suspicion is necessary in hemodynamically unstable patients and those with risk factors for myocardial rupture, warranting echocardiographic evaluation for its diagnosis and characterization. Treatment of VDR is primarily surgical and may involve mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Despite advances in reperfusion therapies and surgical techniques, the prognosis of VDR remains poor. Our patient had a favorable outcome highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.
