Key result
Surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture had a 36% 30-day mortality rate, with incomplete coronary revascularization being an independent risk factor.

What are the predictors of early and late outcomes in patients undergoing surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture?
Surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture carries a high 30-day mortality (36%), with incomplete coronary revascularization being an independent risk factor for early death.
Takahashi et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (n=52). Surgical repair was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture had a 36% 30-day mortality rate, with incomplete coronary revascularization being an independent risk factor.
