Özet

Ventricular septal defects complicate approximately 1% to 2% of cases of acute myocardial infarction. Such postinfarction defects require urgent surgical treatment because, on medical treatment alone, 60% to 70% of patients die within the first 2 weeks. Despite the development of various surgical techniques for repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect, the condition carries a high risk of recurrence and subsequent death.
