Popis: Ventricular septal rupture remains a rare, but most often lethal, complication of acute myocardial infarction. Current guidelines recommend emergent surgical repair of post-myocardial ventricular septal rupture, with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting as indicated. Though surgery provides improved survival over medical management alone, mortality rates remain up to 60%. With technological advances, percutaneous closure has emerged as an alternative management option. In this review, we address patient selection, timing, success, mortality, and complications of transcatheter post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture closure. Current data reveal a lower mortality as compared to surgical management. The optimal device for closure remains uncertain. Timing of closure >14 days after myocardial infarction appears to be associated with greater procedural success; however, delaying repair introduces a selection bias. Complications include device embolization, arrhythmia, residual shun...
