Transatrial Repair of Post-infarction Posterior Ventricular Septal Rupture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but lethal complication of myocardial infarction. The event occurs 2~8 days after an infarction and often precipitates cardiogenic shock. Post myocardial infarction VSR is known for difficult to repair. Especially, Transmural myocardial infarction involved in the posterior VSD area, exposure of the affected site is difficult and postoperative mortality rate is high. We have experienced a case of a 75-year-old female patient who suffered posterior VSD due to acute myocardial infarction, and attained good result by approaching the lesion through right atrial incision and repaired the defect by using patch closure technique.

Transatrial Approach for the Repair of the Posterior Post-Infarct Ventricular Septal Rupture.
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a disastrous mechanical complication of myocardial infarction. Although several surgical interventions have been developed, mortality due to surgical management remains high, especially in the case of posterior VSR. We report a successful case of repair of posterior VSR using an alternative transatrial approach to avoid the complications related to ventricula...
متن کاملA successful transatrial repair in redo surgery of postinfarction inferoposterior ventricular septal rupture.
A successful transatrial repair in redo surgery of postinfarction posterior ventricular septal rupture (VSR) was performed after an infarct exclusion technique through left ventriculotomy incision of the infarcted area. For the infarct lesion, this approach provides excellent results with sufficient closure of the VSR and prevention of the ventricular remodeling for five years. A right atrial a...
متن کاملTransatrial repair of ventricular septal rupture under preoperative localization by transesophageal echocardiography.
We report about a 71-year-old woman with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture who was successfully treated by the transatrial closure under preoperative localization by transesophageal echocardiography. In an attempt at transatrial repair of the ventricular septal rupture, the most important thing is preoperative localization of the defect in the septum, which is located high and posterior...
متن کاملA fatal complication after repair of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture: heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare but potentially devastating and life-threatening complication from using heparin. HIT not only causes thrombocytopenia, but it also carries an increased risk for fatal thrombotic complications. In this report, we describe the case of a patient in whom fatal HIT developed after successful surgical repair of a posterior post-infarction ventricular ...
متن کاملA modified multi-patch technique for double-layered repair of ischemic posterior ventricular septal rupture
BACKGROUND The rupture of the posterior ventricular septum after acute inferior myocardial infarction is more challenging to repair than ruptures in other sites since it is less accessible and anatomically restricted. We described a modification of Daggett's original technique of multi-patch repair of ruptured posterior septum. CASE PRESENTATION The technique was employed in the operation of ...
