ABSTRACT
Development of ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare but serious complication of transmural myocardial infarction (MI). The incidence of post-MI VSDs is reduced significantly with thrombolytic therapy, yet mortality remains high. Surgical repair is difficult and can be complicated by a recurrent VSD in some cases. Percutaneous catheter-based closure techniques can be used to treat these patients. This case report demonstrates the successful application of a hybrid approach utilizing initial surgical and subsequent percutaneous techniques for the recurrence in the treatment of a post-MI VSD.
