Background Transcatheter device closure of postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal
defect (PMIVSD) is less invasive than surgical repair. However, its feasibility, timing …

Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture remains a lethal complication of acute myocardial
infarction. Percutaneous closure is feasible and may provide an alternative treatment option …

Acute ventricular septal rupture is a potentially fatal complication of myocardial infarction. In
the past, surgical repair was the only treatment option for this life-threatening event …

Background The incidence of the post-infarct ventricular septal defect (VSD) is 0.17%.
Surgical repair is the definitive treatment and percutaneous closure is an alternative in high …

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

Postinfarction ventricular septal defect remains an important complication for myocardial
infarction. It is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Despite early surgical closure …

We present 2 examples of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PMIVSD)
successfully treated by percutaneous closure using the Gore septal occluder (GSO)(WL …

Objective: Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is a rare and life-threatening
complication with high risk of both surgical and medical treatment. Another option available …

A 75-year-old man had a large anterior myocardial infarction complicated by a ventricular
septal defect, which was treated in the first 48 h by transcatheter closure using the Amplatzer …

The objective of this study was to assess the immediate and mid‐term results of
transcatheter closure of postinfarct muscular ventricular septal defects (VSDs) using the new …
