DEVICE CLOSURE IN VENTRICULAR SEPTAL RUPTURE CASES AFTER ANTERIOR WALL MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION - A STUDY

Kalyan Munde, Rohit Rai, Shakil Shaikh, Aditya Gupta

Abstract :

Ventricular septal rupture is a dreaded complication of myocardial infarction. Changes in haemodynamics associated with increased load on the already infarcted myocardium compromises the function of the heart. Ventricular patch repair can be done but device closure in the setting of delayed patch closure can be tried. Improvement in haemodynamics was observed following closure of the defect but all the patients later succumbed to the complications of VSR in myocardial infarction. Management of VSR in myocardial infarction remains a challenge
