Percutaneous Repair of Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Defect: Current Approaches and Future Perspectives
Year: 2014
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect is a devastating complication of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Although surgical intervention is considered the gold standard for treatment, it carries high morbidity and mortality rates. We present 2 cases that illustrate the application of percutaneous closure of a post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect: the first in a patient who had undergone prior surgical closure and then developed a new shunt, and the second as a bridge to definitive surgery in a critically ill patient.
