Introduction
Post-AMI VSD is a rare complication of AMI, with various clinical
manifestations, including hemodynamic instability, cardiac dysfunction
and cardiogenic shock. Its incidence is about
0.17%-0.34%[1], but the in-hospital mortality
can reach 41-80%[2].
At present, the development of interventional therapy has opened up a
new idea for the treatment of post-AMI VSD. Percutaneous transcatheter
closure therapy which has the advantages of less trauma and no need for
general anesthesia, provides a new treatment idea for the patients with
post-AMI VSD who cannot undergo early surgical treatment.
We reported a patient with post-AMI VSD who underwent delayed
percutaneous transcatheter closure.
