We report successful transcatheter closure of a post‐MI ventricular septal rupture acutely
following unsuccessful surgical repair. Catheter closure was accomplished by the use of a …

Background Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) following myocardial infarction is a rare
complication with high mortality. Although transcatheter closure has emerged as a less …

Acute ventricular septal rupture following myocardial infarction carries a high mortality. Early
surgery improves survival but long term outcome depends on residual shunting and left …

Objectives The goal of transcatheter closure (TCC) of postinfarction ventricular septal
rupture (PVSR) is maximum reduction of left-to-right shunt with or without coronary artery …

Background—Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a
potentially lethal mechanical complication of acute coronary syndromes. Given high surgical …

We carried out transcatheter procedures to close postinfarction ventricular septal defects
(PIVSDs) in 19 patients: two had recanalization after surgical closure, and 17 had a primary …

Discussion Closure of post infarction VSD's as an immediate intervention has been given a
Class I recommendation in ACC/AHA guidelines [2]. Though limited experience is available …

Objectives We report the long‐term all‐cause mortality and procedure‐related complication
rate following transcatheter closure of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) in a …

Background—The interest in transcatheter ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure is
continuously growing. Therefore, we report our experience in perimembranous (Pm) and …

Rupture of the interventricular septum is an uncommon but often fatal complication of acute
myocardial infarction. Transcatheter closure is an established method of treating selected …
