Curr Probl Cardiol. 2023 Aug;48(8):101237. doi: 10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2022.101237. Epub 2022 Apr 29.

Abstract

Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture is the most catastrophic mechanical complication with high morbidity and mortality, reaching 94% in patients treated conservatively and 47% in patients undergoing cardiac surgery procedures (30-day mortality). In this review article we tried to review trans-catheter closure approach and explain elaborately device selection based on real-world patients in this fatal complication.
