Anatomic rupture location, leukocyte levels and diabetes mellitus as factors influencing in-hospital mortality following percutaneous repair of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture: a single centre study

Percutaneous PIVSR closure improved survival, but outcomes depended on anatomic rupture location, with apical rupture exhibiting prevalent mortality in the closure group. Non-closure patients had shorter survival, higher leukocytes, and diabetes. While rupture location and systemic factors influenced results, further research is needed to explain these associations and optimize patient selection.
