This report suggests that even large intramyocardial haematoma may recede without operative intervention. Echocardiography, CT, and MRI are all helpful in quantifying the size of the haematoma. The appropriate management should be patient-oriented, depending on clinical stability and progression of the haematoma. Conservative treatment in clinically stable patients suffering from septal haematoma following MI and coronary intervention can be a feasible option.
