This case highlights the fatal outcome of patch dehiscence and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following surgical repair of post-MI ventricular septal rupture when re-intervention is refused.
Case of post-VSR patch dehiscence with pseudoaneurysm warrants vigilant follow-up; leaves open optimal repair durability in post-MI patients.
Ventricular septal rupture is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction and has a high mortality. We present a case of 52-year-old male patient with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm due to patch dehiscence after surgical repair of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture.
