Cardiac rupture and ventricular septal defect in isolated right coronary artery disease

AT Weiss, JL Rod, A Appelbaum, MS Gotsman and BS Lewis

At autopsy he was found to have single-vessel disease involving the right coronary artery. Isolated disease of the right coronary artery can produce unexpected, fatal mechanical complications.
