Abstract

Ventricular septal rupture is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction with important hemodynamic consequences. Without a rapid diagnosis and correction by surgical intervention, the short-term mortality of these patients is higher than 90%. Early diagnosis is based on clinical examination and transthoracic echocardiography. Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal rupture in selected patients may save lives. We report a patient with ventricular septal rupture in acute myocardial infarction that was closed by an Amplatzer device.
