Key result
Percutaneous post-MI VSD closure can cause iatrogenic tricuspid regurgitation and flail tricuspid leaflet.
Care must be taken to monitor tricuspid regurgitation during percutaneous closure of post-MI VSD to prevent iatrogenic tricuspid injury.
Supports caution on tricuspid valve injury during percutaneous post-MI VSD closure; leaves open the incidence of iatrogenic regurgitation.
•A post-MI ventricular septal defect is a complication of ST-elevation MI.•Iatrogenic tricuspid regurgitations have not been reported after percutaneous closure.•Care should be taken with the degree of tricuspid regurgitation to prevent iatrogenic tricuspid injury.
