Abstract: Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction.In many cases, postinfarction VSR leads to hemodynamic instability and urgent surgical treatment is necessary.Here we describe a case of a patient with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction caused by acute RV infarction and with cardiogenic shock, whose condition improved after development of postinfarction VSR, but the patient died after corrective surgery.
