(A) A 12-lead electrocardiogram demonstrating ST elevation in the inferior leads. (B) Selective coronary angiography of the right coronary artery demonstrating distal occlusion of the vessel (arrow). (C) Short-axis reformation of a retrospectively electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography scan of the heart shows a small blush of contrast along the basal-to-mid inferolateral segment of the left ventricle (LV; arrow) within a moderate-sized hemoperricardium. (D) A subxiphoid view on transtrhoracic echocardiogram demonstrating Definity (Perflutren lipid microsphere [Lantheus, Billerica, MA]) contrast within the pericardial space. (E) Intraoperative findings demonstrating the site of free-wall rupture (arrow) and active extravasation of blood. RV, right ventricle.
