Abstract Purpose of Review This review aims to delineate the actual role of percutaneous
intervention in the closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (post-MI …

Objectives Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is becoming a progressively less frequent
mechanical complication of myocardial infarction (MI). However, this event is still associated …

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

Background Coronary artery disease including acute coronary syndrome (ACS) constitutes
the most common cause of death in people with cardiovascular disease. Prompt diagnosis …

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

Background Postinfarct ventricular septal rupture is a serious complication in delayed or
failed reperfusion with a grim prognosis. The optimal timing and treatment option remain …

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