Key result
Surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect had a 36% 30-day mortality rate, with higher age and postoperative renal replacement therapy identified as independent risk factors.

What are the risk factors and outcomes associated with surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect?
Surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect carries a high 30-day mortality (36%), with older age and the need for postoperative renal replacement therapy serving as independent predictors of early death.
Pojar et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (n=39). Surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect had a 36% 30-day mortality rate, with higher age and postoperative renal replacement therapy identified as independent risk factors.
