Why the study?
Is transcatheter closure of post-AMI VSR using CardioSEAL or STARFlex devices feasible and effective?
Is transcatheter closure of post-AMI VSR using CardioSEAL or STARFlex devices feasible and effective?
Transcatheter closure of post-AMI VSR is feasible, and early intervention before the establishment of multiorgan failure (assessed via MELD-XI score) is advisable.
Supports feasibility of early transcatheter post-AMI VSR closure; hypothesis-generating for MELD-XI risk stratification.
Transcatheter closure of post-AMI VSR using CardioSEAL or STARFlex devices is feasible and effective. The MELD-XI score, a marker of multiorgan dysfunction, is a promising risk stratifier in this population of patients. Early closure of post-AMI VSR is advisable before establishment of multiorgan failure.
