(New York Heart Association class II) was admitted to our hospital. He suffered from acute
anterior myocardial infarction 1 year earlier and had undergone percutaneous coronary …

Aims: Interventional closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defects (VSD) is
an alternative treatment option to surgical repair. However, only limited evidence exists …

Post-infarction ventricular septal defect is a mechanical complication of acute MI. The
incidence of this complication is low in the primary percutaneous coronary intervention era …

Aims Immediate surgical repair of ventricular septal defect (VSD) complicating acute
myocardial infarction is associated with high mortality. Percutaneous device closure appears …

Recent studies have shown that the decrease in ventricular septal rupture (VSR) incidence
after acute myocardial infarction is related to the improvement of reperfusion strategies. Our …

BACKGROUND: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a serious complication of myocardial
infarction (MI), occurring in about 0.2% of cases. Untreated, mortality in high and early …

Objectives: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but lethal complication of acute
myocardial infarction (AMI). We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical …

Abstract Background Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are one of the mechanical
complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Because of the high risks of mortality and …

Objectives To determine event‐free survival after transcatheter closure of ventricular septal
defect (VSD), and to identify predictors of adverse events (AE) in post myocardial infarction …

Background. Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a severe mechanical complication
secondary to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with a dreadful prognosis. The goal of our …
