Supports feasibility of surgical repair for rare post-MI mechanical complications; leaves open optimal timing and outcomes in larger cohorts.
Case Report (n=2)
Early surgical repair can successfully manage rare and potentially fatal mechanical complications like ventricular septal defect and pseudoaneurysm following acute myocardial infarction.
Park et al. (1991) conducted a case report in Mechanical complications following acute myocardial infarction (n=2). Surgical repair (patch closure and prolene suture closure) was evaluated. Surgical repair successfully managed mechanical complications following acute myocardial infarction in 2 patients, specifically a ventricular septal defect and a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
