Abstract:
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon but lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Although early surgical closure is the treatment of choice, hospital mortality after emergency surgery remains high. Transcatheter closure of post myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) has emerged as a potential treatment option in selected cases. Herein, we report a case present in AFC Health FORTIS Heart Institute, Khulna, Bangladesh on 10 February 2017 of sub acute post-MI VSR that was successfully closed using an Amplatzerseptal occlude (ASD) device. The patient had undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) 15 days earlier in the setting of acute MI.
