  • Title: Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture closure without ventriculotomy.
    Author: Kawashima D, Maeba S, Saito M, Ono M.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2018 Oct; 26(8):628-631. PubMed ID: 27913737.
    Abstract:
    Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture is a life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction. Although some novel techniques of ventricular septal rupture closure have been introduced, they involve ventriculotomy, a procedure that can cause a degree of impairment of the incised ventricle. We describe a case in which we closed a ventricular septal rupture through the tricuspid valve, without ventriculotomy.
