Key result
Early surgical repair of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect after hemodynamic stabilization was associated with an 11% 30-day mortality rate.
Why the study?
Post-MI ventricular septal defect carries very high mortality, and the optimal timing of surgical repair with or without circulatory support remains controversial.

Does early surgical repair of post-MI VSD after hemodynamic stabilization improve survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Early surgical repair of post-MI VSD using the infarct exclusion method after hemodynamic stabilization with IABP yielded an 89% survival rate in a small, high-risk cohort.
Shi et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (n=9). Early surgical repair of post-MI VSD was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Early surgical repair of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect after hemodynamic stabilization was associated with an 11% 30-day mortality rate.
