With the suspicious of a mechanical complication after STEMI, a cardiac magnetic resonance (cMR) was performed, confirming the presence of cardiac rupture located in the infero-lateral wall of the left ventricle evolving to a small Ps. The case was discussed at the heart-team meeting and, as the patient remained stable for days, surgery was initially declined. Our patient was subsequently discharged and referred to be
