Sager,1in 1934, gathered from the literature only 18 recorded cases (including one of his own) of perforation of the infarcted interventricular septum, the first of which was reported by Latham in 1845.2Wood and Livezey4found reference to 36 cases up to 1942. In a series of 25,000 consecutive autopsies, Edmondson and Hoxie3found 72 cases of cardiac rupture, among them 13 cases of septal perforation due to infarction. Additional cases have been reported by...Bibliography1. SAGER RV: Coronary thrombosis: perforation of the infarcted interventricular septum, Arch. Int. Med., 1934, liii, 140. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
