Why the study?
Post-MI ventricular septal rupture is a rare, catastrophic complication with complex 3D anatomy dissimilar to congenital counterparts, presenting unique imaging and procedural challenges where procedural experience is limited.
This review provides a systematic planning and technical approach for the complex procedure of percutaneous device closure of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture.

Percutaneous post-MI VSR closure may serve high-risk patients; leaves open standardized protocols and outcomes data.
Percutaneous techniques in managing post-MI ventricular septal rupture (VSR) have given recourse to patients deemed at high or prohibitive risk. Given the rarity of this catastrophic complication, experience is limited. VSR anatomy – with its complex 3D shape and more emergent presentation – is dissimilar to its congenital counterparts, leading to unique imaging and procedural challenges. We review the literature on percutaneous device closure of post-infarction VSR and, using practical illustrative cases, describe a systematic planning and technical approach for performing this complex procedure.
