Cerebral infarction and ventricular septal defect.
With the availability of contrast echocardiography, patent foramen ovale is frequently detected in patients with stroke, especially in those with no clear etiology and/or the young patient with stroke. Before this report, an association of stroke with ventricular septal defect had not been reported. In this communication, we describe a 38-year-old patient who developed an occipital lobe infarct...
متن کامل[Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect].
Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect corresponds to the rupture of the ventricular septum between the healthy and infarcted parts. It is a rare complication still associated with a high mortality rate. Its diagnostic should be evoked in case of pathologic cardiac auscultation and confirmed by emergent transthoracic echocardiography. Hemodynamic stabilisation, mainly with the ins...
متن کاملVentricular septal defect and mitral regurgitation secondary to myocardial infarction.
Since I had the opportunity of replying (Fleming, 1973a) to the letter of Bethea et al. (1973) on this subject, the patient I originally reported went into congestive cardiac failure. His extremely good mental and physical condition at the age of 68, nearly 9 years after his myocardial infarction, meant that surgical repair of his defect had to be considered. He was, therefore, fully reinvestig...
متن کاملUnplanned staged hybrid management of postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect.
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is an uncommon but potentially deadly complication of transmural myocardial infarction (MI). Emergency surgical treatment has traditionally offered the best chance for survival. However, operative intervention is associated with high mortality and can be complicated by a recurrent VSD due to tissue friability around the infarcted area. Percutaneous catheter-based...
متن کاملSuccessful device closure of a post-infarction ventricular septal defect
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a lethal complication of myocardial infarction. The event occurs 2-8 days after an infarction and patients should undergo emergency surgical treatment. We report on successful device closure of post-infarction VSD. A previously healthy 66-year-old male was admitted with aggravated dyspnea. Echocardiography showed moderate left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunc...
