Surgical treatment of postinfarction ventricular septal defect with aortic stenosis

Ann Thorac Surg. 1992 Dec;54(6):1209-11. doi: 10.1016/0003-4975(92)90101-9.

Abstract

A 69-year-old man with an acute postinfarction ventricular septal defect was also found to have aortic stenosis. Successful management required closure of the postinfarction ventricular septal defect and replacement of the stenotic aortic valve. The contribution of aortic stenosis to the cause of the infarction and the postinfarction ventricular septal defect, as well as the implications for surgical management, are discussed.
