We present the case of a 42-year-old male patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and pericardial effusion due to rupture of the left anterior descending artery most likely secondary to polyarteritis nodosa. Successful surgery was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass using antegrade and retrograde cardioplegia combined. ().
