Multidisciplinary transcatheter rescue of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture in cardiogenic shock: expanding the role of percutaneous closure—case report
This case illustrates the feasibility and efficacy of delayed percutaneous closure of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture in a critically ill patient. While surgery remains standard therapy, percutaneous closure offers a viable life-saving alternative in select high-risk patients, especially when delayed to allow scar formation. Mechanical circulatory support may serve as a bridge to intervention. Multidisciplinary Heart Team collaboration is essential for optimal individualized management.
