Post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but lethal mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. The incidence of VSR has decreased from 1-3% following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the pre-reperfusion era to 0.17-0.31% following primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Survival to 1 month without intervention is 6%. We report a case of a 60-year-old male, admitted in a peripheral hospital with acute anterior wall myocardial Infarction. He was thrombolized with streptokinase. He developed breathlessness at rest and shifted to our hospital for further management. On evaluation in intensive care unit found to have VSR. The patient was in cardiogenic shock. The ventricular septal rupture was successfully closed with a septal occluder device. After which the patient stabilized hemodynamically and was discharged after 8 days.

Abstract Background Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but severe complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). For such cases, surgical repair is recommended by major guidelines, but not always possible for such cases. Case presentation A 72-year-old man presented to the emergency room. ECG showed the ST-segment was elevated by 2–3 mm in lead II, III, and aVF, with Q-waves. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed multi-vessel disease with a total occlusion of the right coronary artery (RCA) and severe stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). A diagnosis of acute inferior myocardial infarction was made. VSR occurred immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (a 2.5 × 20 mm drug-eluting stent implanted in RCA), and the patient developed cardiogenic shock. An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was used to stabilize the hemodynamics. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed an 11.4-mm left-to-right shunt in the interventricular septum. An attempt was made to reduce the IABP augmentation ratio for weaning on day 12 but failed. Transcatheter closure was conducted using a 24-mm double-umbrella occluder on day 28. The patient was weaned from IABP on day 31 and underwent secondary PCI for LAD lesions on day 35. The patient was discharged on day 41. Upon the last follow-up 6 years later, CAG and TTE revealed no in-stent restenosis, no left-to-right shunt, and 51% left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusions Prolonged implementation of IABP can be a viable option to allow deferred closure of VSR in AMI patients, and transcatheter closure may be considered as a second choice for the selected senior and vulnerable patients, but the risk is still high.
