Hybrid approach to postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect repair

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2021 Apr 1;97(5):E731-E735. doi: 10.1002/ccd.29000. Epub 2020 May 30.

Abstract

Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture is a rare and devastating complication of myocardial infarction. Despite attempts at acute surgical and percutaneous defect closure, morbidity and mortality remain high. Herein, we describe a hybrid surgical and catheter-based approach to defect closure in a 63-year-old woman with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture and cardiogenic shock.

Keywords: catheter-based; hybrid closure; ventricular septal rupture.
