Abstract

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a disastrous mechanical complication of myocardial infarction. Although several surgical interventions have been developed, mortality due to surgical management remains high, especially in the case of posterior VSR. We report a successful case of repair of posterior VSR using an alternative transatrial approach to avoid the complications related to ventricular incision.
