1 Experience with postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture
René Prêtre, MD, Peter Benedikt, MD, Marko I. Turina, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 69, Issue 5, Pages (May 2000) DOI: /S (00)01290-X

2 Fig 1 Repair of the ventricular rupture included epicardial patching (2 patients - top left), direct suture (1 patient - top right), debridement and patch closure (1 patient - bottom left) and infarct-exclusion (1 patient - bottom right). Grey area indicates extent of infarction. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00)01290-X)

3 Fig 2 Epicardial patching of a rupture of the anterior part of the left ventricle. Exposure of the heart was achieved by retracting the left edge of the sternum with a mammary artery retractor and by inserting a lap-pad underneath the left ventricle.
