LVAD implantation following repair of acute postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction (MI). Mortality is highest if VSD repair occurs within seven days following MI. We report a case of post-MI VSD stabilized with peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) followed by patch repair and implantation of a durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
