Dual Mechanical Complications of an Inferior Myocardial Infarction: A Case of Concurrent Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm and Ventricular Septal Rupture.

We present the case of a 63-year-old male admitted for persistent epigastric pain, initially managed as gastrointestinal in origin. Further evaluation revealed an extensive inferior myocardial infarction, complicated by mechanical complications. Despite intensive medical and surgical management, the patient succumbed to cardiogenic shock postoperatively. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and reperfusion in acute coronary syndromes, particularly in atypical presentations. The timing of surgical repair in mechanical complications remains a critical and controversial aspect of management.
