Periprocedural myocardial infarction resulting in a ventricular septal defect

Ann Thorac Surg. 2015 Apr;99(4):e89-90. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.12.085.

Abstract

Although periprocedural myocardial infarction frequently occurs with the robustness of percutaneous coronary intervention, the prognosis of the periprocedural myocardial infarction has been known to be relatively good compared with that of spontaneous myocardial infarction. We present a patient with a postinfarction ventricular septal defect, with cardiogenic shock, that developed 7 days after a percutaneous coronary intervention. Emergency surgical repair combined with coronary artery bypass grafting saved the patient, without complications.
