Echocardiographic manifestations of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The echocardiographic features of three patients with postinfarction ventricular spectal rupture are described. All patients showed a decreased or paradoxical motion on the ventricular septum, and two of the patients demonstrated an unusual motion of the tricuspid valve. There were no abnormalities in mitral valve motion. The echocardiogram can be helpful in the diagnosis of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture and can assist in distinguishing this condition from acute disruption of the mitral valve complex.

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...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of a residual postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect with the Amplatzer septal occluder.
Acute ventricular septal rupture following myocardial infarction carries a high mortality. Early surgery improves survival but long term outcome depends on residual shunting and left ventricular function. Residual shunting is common despite apparently successful closure and may require reoperation. Transcatheter closure is an established method of treating selected congenital defects but clinic...
متن کاملSuccessful infarct exclusion for postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture.
The mortality of postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture is still high. Several surgical techniques have been used for repairing such ruptures. Here, we describe using an infarction exclusion technique to successfully treat a case of a blow-out type postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture. This technique has frequently been used for repairing postinfarction ventricular septa...
متن کاملA successful transatrial repair in redo surgery of postinfarction inferoposterior ventricular septal rupture.
A successful transatrial repair in redo surgery of postinfarction posterior ventricular septal rupture (VSR) was performed after an infarct exclusion technique through left ventriculotomy incision of the infarcted area. For the infarct lesion, this approach provides excellent results with sufficient closure of the VSR and prevention of the ventricular remodeling for five years. A right atrial a...
متن کاملLong-term results after surgical treatment of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture.
OBJECTIVES Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture is a serious complication associated with high hospital mortality rates. The present study aimed to identify predictors of early and late outcome in patients with postinfarction ventricular septal defect over a period of 30 years. METHODS We retrospectively analysed clinical and operative data, predictors of early mortality and long-term su...
