Ventricular septal rupture after acute myocardial infarction.
Ventricular septal rupture is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction with important hemodynamic consequences. Spontaneous closure is extremely rare. Without a rapid diagnosis and correction by surgical intervention, the short-term mortality of these patients is higher than 90%. We report the case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction and a ventricular septal rupture that was...
متن کاملVentricular septal defect and ventricular aneurysm secondary to acute myocardial infarction. Report of four cases with successful surgical treatment.
Four cases of ventricular septal defect and ventricular aneurysm after myocardial infarction are reported. The clinical findings and surgical results in these four cases and in eight previously reported patients with this combination of complications are summarized. Resection of the ventricular aneurysm and closure of the ventricular septal defect appear indicated, both on theoretical grounds a...
متن کاملVentricular Septal Defect and Left Ventricular Aneurysm After Acute Myocardial Infarction
The combination of an acute ventricular septal defect (VSD) and left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is a rare, life-threatening complication which usually occurs within the first week following acute myocardial infarcttion (AMI). We describe the case of an apical VSD and LVA in a 77-year-old diabetic and dyslipidemic male patient after anterior AMI. The patient was an active smoker and had a histor...
متن کاملEchocardiographic observations on ventricular septal rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction.
Echocardiograms were performed on three patients with ventricular septal rupture complicating myocardial infarction. The pulmonary artery mean pressure was 30 mm Hg or more in all three patients. The size of the ventricular septal defect, determined at operation or autopsy, was 2 cm or greater in each patient. The salient echocardiographic abnormality was dilatation of the right ventricle. The ...
متن کاملManagement of ventricular septal rupture in acute myocardial infarction.
Four patients with rupture of the interventricular septum after myocardial infarction are described. This condition carries a grave prognosis. Surgical repair of the septum is almost always urgently required if the left-to-right shunt is large (QP/WS > 3). Results are better if surgery can be deferred for six weeks to allow the infarcted area to heal and the tissues to be come firmer. This dela...
