Abstract

Acquired ventricular wall ruptures can be life-threatening. Depending on the pathological features and anatomy, surgical repair can be technically challenging and may be associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present 3 successful percutaneous repairs of different ruptures that used a variety of techniques. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
