Abstract
Cardiac rupture is a life-threatening complication during diagnostic cardiac catheterization, however, it rarely occurs nowadays. The present case report describes cardiac rupture during diagnostic cardiac catheterization using a 4F pigtail catheter and a 0.035” flexible guidewire, and global ST-segment elevation associated with impending cardiac rupture.
