Doctors at Vinmec Times City International Hospital raced against time to save the life of a 62-year-old patient with a heart rupture who experienced two cardiac arrests. Typically, most similar cases result in death if not surgically treated promptly, and even with surgery, only 50% of them survive, often with neurological sequelae. In this particular case, the patient has a miraculously complete recovery.
