Abstract
|
|
|
|
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) complicating an acute myocardial infarction is rather uncommon. However, the outcomes after the development of a VSD are poor with an in-hospital mortality of more than 90% for the medically treated patients. To prevent the recurrence of VSD, many techniques have been reported on for the closure of a postinfarction VSD. In this report, we present a case of a patient who had a postinfarction VSD due to Prinzmetal’s variant angina, and the rupture of the pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle was successfully treated by the "Sandwich technique".
