Percutaneous closure of a post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect guided by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.

چکیده
We present an adult patient who had an acute myocardial infarction complicated by a ventricular septal defect and had it repaired percutaneously. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3D) before and during the closure procedure were performed. RT3D provided anatomical and functional information of the defect as well as real-time guidance during the procedure. This case highlights the utility of three-dimensional echocardiography in guiding transcatheter procedures.

Successful device closure of a post-infarction ventricular septal defect
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a lethal complication of myocardial infarction. The event occurs 2-8 days after an infarction and patients should undergo emergency surgical treatment. We report on successful device closure of post-infarction VSD. A previously healthy 66-year-old male was admitted with aggravated dyspnea. Echocardiography showed moderate left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunc...

A 67-year-old man presented at another hospital with an anterior-wall myocardial infarction. He was transferred to our institution after he went into progressive cardiogenic shock and developed a post-myocardial infarction apical ventricular septal defect (VSD). During high-dose inotropic support, his blood pressure was 78/34 mmHg. Cardiac catheterization revealed a pulmonary artery pressure of...

We report our initial experience in two patients using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography to assess perimembranous ventricular septal defect and device morphology and their relation with contiguous cardiac structure. Defect size and rims as well as device position and profile were displayed from the three-dimensional "en face" views. We think that real-time three-dimensional echocardi...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of a post-traumatic ventricular septal defect with a patent ductus arteriosus occluder
OBJECTIVE Ventricular septal defects resulting from post-traumatic cardiac injury are very rare. Percutaneous closure has emerged as a method for treating this disorder. We wish to report our experience in three patients who underwent percutaneous closure of a post-traumatic ventricular septal defect with a patent ductus arteriosus occluder. METHODS We treated three patients with post-traumat...
متن کامل3D transesophageal echocardiography is a decision-making tool for the management of cardiogenic shock following a large postinfarction ventricular defect
Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is a devastating mechanical complication following acute myocardial infarction. The management of this pathology is quite challenging, especially in case of complicated cardiogenic shock. The difficulties lie in the timing and type of intervention. Debates exist with regard to immediate versus deferring repair, as well as open repair versus percu...
