Abstract
Left ventricular free wall rupture has been treated successfully in th ree cases using an original technique that consists of suturing a plaq ue of the patient's own pericardium (6 to 8 cm in diameter) to the nor mal tissue encircling the pathologic myocardium, and by injecting 5 ml of human fibrin glue as a cement under the pericardium to reinforce t he repair and prevent leaking through the suture line.
