Implication

May support feasibility of delayed repair in select post-MI VSR; leaves open optimal timing and selection in larger cohorts.

Key Points

To report a case of successful surgical closure of a ruptured interventricular septum after myocardial infarction.
A case of a patient exhibiting a loud pansystolic murmur was analyzed.
Cardiac catheterization confirmed a large left-to-right shunt.
Surgical closure was performed with a Teflon patch during cardiac bypass 5 weeks post-infarction.
The patient exhibited atypical progression of myocardial insufficiency, leading to successful surgical intervention.
Surgical closure resulted in long-term survival, contrasting with usual outcomes.
Review of previous cases indicates rarity of such successful interventions.
