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

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

Background—Postinfarction ventricular septal defect carries a grim prognosis. Surgical
repair offers reasonable outcomes in patients who survive a healing phase. Percutaneous …

Background Post‐myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal defects (PIVSD) are an
uncommon but life‐threatening complication of acute MI. Although surgical closure has been …

Post‐traumatic ventricular septal defects (VSD) can occur after acute MI or iatrogenically
after invasive surgical procedures. Emergency surgery is associated with high perioperative …

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart disease. Surgery has
been performed for many years and is considered to be the gold standard for the treatment …

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 …

BACKGROUND: We reviewed our experience at the Montreal Heart Institute with early
surgical and percutaneous closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defects (VSD) …

Aims Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is a mechanical complication of acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) with a poor prognosis. Surgical repair is the mainstay of …

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