Abstract
Residual Shunts in Ventricular Septal Patch Portions 12 Years after Surgery for Ventricular Septal Perforation Due to the Ventricular Septal Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report
Highlights
Ventriculr Septal Defects (VSD) are life-threatening mechanical complications of acute Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Pathological clinical studies have demonstrated that the mean time from MI to VSD is 3 to 5 days, in the patients treated with thrombolytic therapy for MI, VSD may develop within the first 24 hours
This is the first case report demonstrating the changes in leakage flow within the patched portion for a VSD after MI and indicating the long-term function of the left ventricle
Summary
Ventriculr Septal Defects (VSD) are life-threatening mechanical complications of acute Myocardial Infarction (MI). This is the first case report demonstrating the changes in leakage flow within the patched portion for a VSD after MI and indicating the long-term function of the left ventricle. She received PCI and underwent an operation to close the ventricular perforation with patches, the following day. In July 2005, the pressure gradient between both ventricles was 61 mmHg,whereas in Feb, 2006, was 93.3 mmHg (Figure 4).
