Transcatheter closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect with Amplatzer septal occluder.

چکیده
Rupture of the interventricular septum is an uncommon but often fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Transcatheter closure is an established method of treating selected congenital defects but clinical experience on transcatheter closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defects (VSDs) is minimal. We report a case of successful transcatheter closure of postinfarction VSD using the Amplatzer septal occluder.

A 75-year-old man had a large anterior myocardial infarction complicated by a ventricular septal defect, which was treated in the first 48 h by transcatheter closure using the Amplatzer septal occluder. Treatment was successful (with only mild residual post-procedure shunting) and coronary angioplasty with stent implantation at the point of occlusion of the middle left anterior descending arter...

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...

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...

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI), associated with a high mortality rate. Although early surgical treatment improves the prognosis, hospital mortality after emergency surgery remains high. Transcatheter closure of postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) has emerged as a potential strategy in selected ...

We present an 80 year-old patient with an acute VSD following an acute inferior myocardial infarction. Percutaneous VSD closure with an Amplatzer ventricular septal occluder (AVSO) was performed successfully, two days after initial admission. In-hospital follow-...
