Surgical Management of Post-AMI VSD - A Case Report -
급성 심근경색에 합병된 심실중격 결손증의 수술적 치료: 1례 보고
Abstract
Post-AMI VSD is an infrequent but often catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction In general, the mortality is associated with end organ failure due to low output syndrome. Therefore, a stable hemodynamic is necessary to prevent the end organ failure. If a supportive therapy does not accomplish it, surgical intervention should be considered. Recently, we have experinced a case of post-AMI VSD with cardiogenic shock. Early recognition and surgical repair of post-AMI VSD gave us a good result. Postoperative result was satisfactory and recovery was uneventful. We believe that early surgical repair can be lifesaving in the case of post-AMI VSD with cardiogenic shock.
