Key result
A multidisciplinary heart team and multi-modality imaging approach facilitated the successful percutaneous closure of a post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect.
Case Report
A multidisciplinary heart team and multi-modality imaging approach can facilitate successful percutaneous closure of post-infarction ventricular septal defects.
Supports heart team strategies in select post-MI VSD; leaves open need for prospective data before wider adoption.
Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (PI-VSD) is a devastating complication that carries a high mortality with or without surgical repair. Percutaneous closure is an attractive alternative in select patients though requires appropriate characterization of the PI-VSD as well as careful device and patient selection. We describe a multidisciplinary and multi-modality imaging approach to successful percutaneous closure of a PI-VSD.

Iyer et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (PI-VSD). Percutaneous closure using a heart team and multi-modality imaging approach was evaluated on Successful percutaneous closure. A multidisciplinary heart team and multi-modality imaging approach facilitated the successful percutaneous closure of a post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect.
