Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI), associated with a high mortality rate. Although early surgical treatment improves the prognosis, hospital mortality after emergency surgery remains high. Transcatheter closure ofpostmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) has emerged as a potential strategyin selected cases. Current interventional reports are mainly restricted to PIVSD closure in thechronic and subacute setting, which only give a short term result. Herein, we report a case of acute post-MI VSR that was successfully closed using an Amplatzer postinfarction muscular ventricular septal defect (PIMVSD) occluder device with good immediate and long-term outcomes. The patient had undergone urgent coronary artery bypass surgery 3 days earlier in the setting of acute MI. |
