Rupture of the free wall of the heart is one of the dangerous complications of myocardial infarction that usually results in death of the patient. Only a few limited number of cases have been reported to have survived for a long period after myocardial infarction, free cardiac wall rupture and the following pseudo aneurysm.

With timely surgical intervention, the patient has returned to normal life.
