Post myocardial ventricular septal defect

Background The impact of long-term systemic steroid use on electrical and mechanical complications following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been extensively studied. Methods In a retrospective cohort study of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2018 to 2020, adults admitted with STEMI were dichotomized based on the presence of long-term (current) systemic steroid (LTCSS) use. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included a composite of mechanical complications, electrical, hemodynamic, and thrombotic complications, as well as revascularization complexity, length of stay (LOS), and total charge...

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is a source of morbidity in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and a life-threatening complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Available surgical and transcatheter approaches are limited by high surgical risk, unsuitable septal perforators, and heart block requiring permanent pacemakers. OBJECTIVES: The authors report the initial experience of a novel transcatheter electrosurgical procedure developed to mimic surgical myotomy...

INTRODUCTION: Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is a life-threatening mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Delayed elective surgical repair can be considered in patients who respond well to aggressive heart failure therapy. Impella has been reported as a bridge to allow the deferment of surgery for PIVSD. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This report describes our case of a 62-year-old male with PIVSD and cardiogenic shock...

Scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation involves localizing the critical isthmuses by overdrive pacing maneuvers and three-dimensional activation mapping. Implantable prosthetic devices have been known to complicate this by covering sites of potential isthmuses. We herein present a sentinel report of scar-VT ablation with a protected isthmus localized over an endothelialized post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect occluder device.

INTRODUCTION: Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is one of the most serious mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Over the last decade, percutaneous closure is increasingly undertaken, with results similar to cardiac surgery. We present a case of ST-elevated anterior AMI, complicated by apical PIVSD successfully treated with transcatheter closure. CASE REPORT: An 83-year-old man was hospitalized for chest pain occurred 18 hours before, during the night time...

BACKGROUND: The current guidelines have discouraged the routine use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in cardiogenic shock complicating acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Since then, the trend of IABP utilization in ACS has been declining. Nevertheless, the guidelines still preserve the recommendation of IABP use in hemodynamic instability or cardiogenic shock caused by post myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal rupture (VSR). CASE PRESENTATION: A 46-years-old diabetic Southeast Asian female was referred from a peripheral facility with intractable heart failure despite treatment with vasoactive agents and diuretics for five days...

OBJECTIVES: Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) is one of the known complications after acute myocardial infarction. This study investigated the clinical results after surgical repair of VSD. METHODS: This retrospective study included all patients undergoing surgical repair of VSD from 1996 to 2020 in Oman. RESULTS: Out of a total of 75 patients, 62.5% were men, with a mean age of 59 years. The mean follow-up was 17.2 (7.5) years...

OBJECTIVE: We developed a hybrid technique for repairing post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal defect (VSD) that combines infarct exclusion with patch and a nitinol-mesh septal occluder device (SOD) to provide a scaffold to support the damaged septal wall. Here, we compare outcomes of patients with post-MI VSD repaired using patch only or hybrid patch/SOD. METHODS: Patients undergoing post-MI VSD repair at our institution from 2013 to 2022 who received patch alone or patch/SOD repair were analyzed...

KONAR-MFO (multifunctional occluder) [Lifetech, Shenzhen, China] was first used in humans in 2013 and received the CE mark in May 2018. As name suggest, it can be use in various(multifunctional) situations in paediatric as well as adults. This is a versatile device with an improved delivery and flexibility which make this device a better option to be use with more comfort and minimum complications. This paper is regarding few rare and complicated lesions, like anomalous origin of coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) device closure, device closure of ventricular septal rupture (VSR) post myocardial infarction in sick elderly and finally device closure of paravalvar leak (PVL)after mitral valve replacement which were treated with this device with excellent results...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after myocardial infarction (MI) and the preoperative use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a bridge to surgery. METHODS: We included patients undergoing surgery for VSR from January 2009 until June 2021 from two centers in Germany. Patients were separated into two groups, those with and without ECLS, before surgery. Pre- and intraoperative data, outcome, and survival during follow-up were evaluated...

A 49-year-old man presented late with an anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) status post-primary coronary intervention of the left anterior descending artery that resulted in no reflow of the vessel. The patient was transferred to our institution in cardiogenic shock.

INTRODUCTION: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI) with a very high mortality, despite advances in surgical and circulatory support. The tremendous hemodynamic disturbance and the severely fragile myocardium render surgical repair a great challenge. The optimal time of surgical repair with or without circulatory support is still controversial. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to review our experience with early surgical repair of post-MI VSD in a single major cardiac institution in China...

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare but severe complication of myocardial infarction (MI). Temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) can be used as a bridge to VSD closure, heart transplantation, or ventricular assist device. We describe the use of Impella device in this context based on a multicenter European retrospective registry (17 centers responded). Twenty-eight post-MI VSD patients were included (Impella device were 2.5 for 1 patient, CP for 20, 5.0 for 5, and unknown for 2). All patients were in cardiogenic shock with multiple organ failure (SAPS II 41 [interquantile range {IQR} = 27-53], lactate 4...

INTRODUCTION: Time-fixed analyses have traditionally been utilized to examine outcomes in post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD). The aims of this study were to: (1) analyze the relationship between VSD closure/non-closure and mortality; (2) assess the presence of immortal-time bias. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by VSD. Time-fixed and time-dependent Cox regression methodologies were employed...

BACKGROUND: Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is a rare, life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Few studies report the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for the treatment of cardiogenic shock in this setting. We describe our experience using a microaxial, transvalvular device (Impella, Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA) as a bridge-to-closure for PIVSD. CASE SUMMARY: We identified 13 patients from two centres with cardiogenic shock due to PIVSD who received an Impella device between January 2016 and February 2022...

BACKGROUND: Post-infarction ventricular septal defects remain one of the most feared complications after myocardial infarction with high mortality rates. In special cases, surgical or interventional treatment strategies are technically not feasible and do not always lead to a good outcome. CASE PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old male patient in cardiogenic shock with a very large ventricular septal (VSD) defect (4.9 cm × 5 cm) due to myocardial infarction was presented in our department...

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a catastrophic acute myocardial infarction (MI) complication. Despite a significant reduction in the prevalence of post-MI VSD with the advancement of surgical techniques, it is still considered fatal with a high mortality rate. The trends in the clinical outcomes of patients with post-MI VSD show discretion due to the complexity of the disease. Therefore, the present analysis aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes and associated risks in the patients of post-MI VSD. A thorough literature survey resulted in 40 studies of our interest...

Acquired ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of late-presenting myocardial infarction (MI). In the era of revascularization and reperfusion therapy, the incidence of VSR has significantly decreased. Ruptures occur predominantly in patients with late-presenting ST elevation MI. Patients may present with a wide variety of symptoms ranging from chest pain and mild hemodynamic instability to profound cardiogenic shock. Inotropes, vasopressors, and mechanical support with intra-aortic balloon pumps and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be used to bridge patients to surgery...
