Learning Points of the Procedure:
1. The postinfraction ventricular septal rupture (post-
MI VSR) of apical septum was di cult to diagnose on transthoracic echocardiography, and new-onset holo- systolic murmur is an important clue.
2. Although there is no consensus on timing of surgical intervention of the post-MI VR, surgical intervention may be deferred as long as possible if hemodynamic stable.
3. Complete image examinations, including ECG-gated computed tomography angiography and echocardi- ography (transthoracic and transesophageal), are cru- cial in patients complicated ventricular septal rupture, especially in whom accompanied with pseudoaneu- rysm formation.
4. Transcatheter closure is feasible in patients with re- sidual VSR or pseudoaneurysm after surgical repair of post-MI VSR.
