Description Rupture of the liver is a rare but a very serious complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The presentei report describes a young patient with acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation treated by primary PCI. Just during admission to the hospital she had ventricular fibrillation with prolonged resuscitation. Subsequently due to a decrease of hemoglobine a liver rupture with hemoperitoneurn was diagnosed by ultrasonogra-phy and computed tomography (CT). Conservative therapy with repeated ultrasonography and CT examinations was successful even without discontinuation dual antiplatelet therapy. Frequency of this rare complication, diag-nostics and therapeutic options are discussed.
