The characteristics and progress of treatment in ventricular septum rapture after acute myocardial infarction / 天津医药

ABSTRACT

As the development of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the incidence of ventricular septum rapture (VSR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is getting lower and lower, but the mortality is still high. Promptly diagnosisand surgery are still the first choose for treatment. Delay surgery may bring better result for patients with stable conditions. Internal medicine treatment is usually useless, and mechanical support may offer chance of delay surgery. Percutaneous interventional closure can reduce shunt for patients who are not able to tolerate surgery in the acute phase.
