Percutaneous Transcatheter Closure of Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture

Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture is the most catastrophic mechanical complication with high morbidity and mortality, reaching 94% in patients treated conservatively and 47% in patients undergoing cardiac surgery procedures (30-day mortality). In this review article we tried to review trans-catheter closure approach and explain elaborately device selection based on real-world patients in this fatal complication.
