Background Mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction represent life-
threatening events, including ventricular septal rupture (VSR), left ventricular free-wall …

Mortality in cardiogenic shock remains high. Overall, these findings highlight the need to
address the lack of effective treatments in this field, particularly for cardiogenic shock caused …

Post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a serious complication of myocardial
infarction, which, in its natural course or treated medically, is related to high mortality rate …

Ventricular septal rupture remains a dreadful complication of acute myocardial infarction.
Although less commonly observed than during the prethrombolytic era, the condition …

Postinfarction ventricular free-wall rupture is a rare mechanical complication, accounting
for< 0.01% to 0.02% of cases. As an often-catastrophic event, death typically ensues within …

Objective To analyze the survival and risk factors associated with the surgical treatment of
ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods We …

Objective To evaluate the impact of concomitant valve surgery on the prognosis of patients
who experienced coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with/without ventricular reconstruction …

Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR) is becoming increasingly rare
in the percutaneous coronary intervention era; however, the mortality rates remain high …

BACKGROUND: Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a catastrophic complication
of myocardial infarction. Surgical repair still has poor outcomes. This report describes …

Introduction Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a mechanical complication of acute
myocardial infarction (MI) with a very high mortality, despite advances in surgical and …
