Key result
Delayed surgical repair of post-MI ventricular septal defect improves tissue organization and outcomes.
Why the study?
The optimal timing for surgical intervention in fresh post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defects remains uncertain.

May support delayed repair in select post-MI VSD cases; leaves open need for prospective trials.
Suder et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (n=2). Surgical intervention (VSD repair) was evaluated. Delaying surgical repair of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect allowed for tissue organization and improved surgical outcomes in two case studies.
