Surgical Management of Post-AMI VSD -A Case Report-
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Post-AMI VSD is an infrequent but often catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction. In general, the mortality is associated with end organ failure due to low output syndrome. Therefore, a stable hemodynamic is necessary to prevent
the
end
organ failure. If a supportive therapy does not accomplish it, surgical intervention should be considered.
Recently, we have experinced a case of post-AMI VSD with cardiogenic shock. Early recognition and surgical repair of post-AMI VSD gave us a good result. Postoperative result was satisfactory and recovery was uneventful.
We believe that early surgical repair can be lifesaving in the case of post-AMI VSD with cardiogenic shock.
