Posterior rupture of the interventricular septum after acute myocardial infarction: successful early surgical repair. 1977

A patient with a large posterior ventricular septal defect complicating an acute inferior myocardial infarction is reported. Because of medically intractable biventricular failure, temporary circulatory assistance was initiated using intraaortic balloon pumping. Emergency coronary angiography, ventriculography, and subsequent operation were carried out. Operative repair involved closure of the septal defect with the use of a Dacron patch, infarctectomy, and aortocoronary bypass grafting and resulted in long-term survival of the patient.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007423 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping Counterpulsation in which a pumping unit synchronized with the patient's electrocardiogram rapidly fills a balloon in the aorta with helium or carbon dioxide in early diastole and evacuates the balloon at the onset of systole. As the balloon inflates, it raises aortic diastolic pressure, and as it deflates, it lowers aortic systolic pressure. The result is a decrease in left ventricular work and increased myocardial and peripheral perfusion.
