چکیده

A 57 year old man presented with postinfarction ventricular septal infarct (VSD) a week after myocardial infarction and thrombolytic therapy. Coronary angiography confirmed double vessel disease. He underwent surgical repair of the VSD and coronary artery bypass grafting. Two days postoperatively, he deteriorated due to recurrence of VSD. Reoperation was carried out with satisfactory results. The surgical management is described with a review of the relevant literature.

Urgent Surgical Intervention for Embolized Cardiac Occluder Devices: A Case Series

Introduction: In this study, we sought to illustrate our experience in urgent surgical management for embolized cardiac septal occlude devices resulting from trans-catheter closure of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Mathrials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four patients aged 2–10 years who underwent urgent surgery due to cardiac septal occluder embolization between...

Transcatheter Closure of a Large Postinfarction Ventricular Septal Defect Complicated With Perforation of Ventricular Aneurysm

Ventricular septal defect concurrent with left ventricular aneurysm is unusual in postinfarction patients. The complex anatomy is challenging for occluder deployment in transcatheter closure and associated with high risk of aneurysm perforation. We present a case of transcatheter closure of a large postinfarction ventricular septal defect with an Amplatzer septal occluder in a 71-year-old woman...

Decision-making and surgery results in postinfarction ventricular septal rupture

Objectives: Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) remains a surgical challenge because it is technically difficult to reconstruct the septum during the acute phase of transmural myocardial infarction, and it is a relatively uncommon operative procedure. Design and Methods: Thirty patients underwent surgical repair of a postinfarction ventricular septal defect from 1992 to 2003. 26 of t...

[Transcatheter closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defects using Amplatzer devices].

We carried out transcatheter procedures to close postinfarction ventricular septal defects (PIVSDs) in 19 patients: two had recanalization after surgical closure, and 17 had a primary PIVSD. In three of the latter patients, who had acute PIVSDs, the procedure was carried out in the first 3 weeks after infarction; in the 13 patients with subacute PIVSD, it was carried out 3.5-12 weeks after infa...

Percutaneous closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defect: in-hospital outcomes and long-term follow-up of UK experience.

BACKGROUND Postinfarction ventricular septal defect carries a grim prognosis. Surgical repair offers reasonable outcomes in patients who survive a healing phase. Percutaneous device implantation represents a potentially attractive early alternative. METHODS AND RESULTS Postinfarction ventricular septal defect closure was attempted in 53 patients from 11 centers (1997-2012; aged 72±11 years; 4...
