Abstract Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) complicates acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in less than 0.2% of cases and is usually surgically managed by endocardial patch repair with infarct exclusion. Although successful in 80% of cases, failure of patch repair (often because of patch dehiscence) results in attempts at percutaneous closure as reoperative mortality can be as high as 40%. We describe a case of an AMI in a 63-year-old male with resultant VSR that required repeat surgical patch repair secondary to recurrent leak. We discuss the management of recurrent leaks and surgical techniques aimed at decreasing residual defects. (J Card Surg 2012;**:1-5). |
