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 …

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

Objectives The present study was designed to assess whether the incidence and outcomes
of VSR‐AMI have changed in the era of timely primary PCI. Background Ventricular septal …

Mechanical complications post-acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs) are rare, but may have
dramatic and potentially lethal consequences. Most often, the left ventricle is affected and …

Objectives The aim of this study was to define the dynamic in vivo morphology of post-infarct
ventricular septal defect (PIVSD), which has not been previously described in living patients …

Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a lethal structural complication following
acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Surgical repair of VSR was first reported in 1957 by …

Background: Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (PI-VSR) is a rare but devastating
complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Risk stratification in the acute phase is …
