This review summarizes contemporary best management and practice considerations for the complex, multidisciplinary care of patients with post-AMI VSR.
The incidence of postacute myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture (post-AMI VSR) has decreased over the past two decades. Nevertheless, individuals who suffer from post-AMI VSR continue to represent a subgroup of patients with high morbidity and mortality. The care for these patients is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. However, because of the small number of reports that exist to guide clinical practice, there is a significant variability in care among centers. This review summarizes information on post-AMI VSR diagnosis and outline contemporary best management and practice consideration.
