Khandaker MAH, Panduranga P. Not all Postmyocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture Need Immediate Surgery: Role of Cardiogenic Shock Classification. Heart Views 2021; 22:141-145. [PMID: 34584627 PMCID: PMC8445139 DOI: 10.4103/heartviews.heartviews_138_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 01/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
A 56-year-old man presented with acute anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction. Initially he was thrombolysed at a peripheral hospital and a transthoracic echocardiography revealed multiple (2-3 mm) apical muscular ventricular septal defects suggesting ventricular septal rupture (VSR), with the largest measuring 10mm with left to right shunt and max gradient was 74 mmHg. His left ventricular ejection fraction was 45%. A coronary angiogram revealed tight proximal (95%) and mid segments (80%) stenosis in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) but diffusely diseased distally. Another significant stenosis (80%) was present at the ostium of the right posterior descending artery (r-PDA). He was in Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention (SCAI) cardiogenic shock Stage B, hence cardiac surgeons advised conservative medical treatment in order to stabilize the infarct area with view of good surgical outcome. Although, there was a dilemma between the surgeon and the cardiologist regarding timing VSR closure, classification of shock stages helped to delay surgery. Eventually, he was taken for surgery at the 18th day of admission with a graft to r-PDA rather to LAD (due to difficult visualization) and repair of VSR with Gortex patch. In conclusion, in all patients with post MI VSR, SCAI shock stages classification has to be applied in determining the timing of surgery.

SCAI expert consensus update on best practices in the cardiac catheterization laboratory: This statement was endorsed by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) in April 2021. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2021; 98:255-276. [PMID: 33909349 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
The current document commissioned by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) and endorsed by the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and Heart Rhythm Society represents a comprehensive update to the 2012 and 2016 consensus documents on patient-centered best practices in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Comprising updates to staffing and credentialing, as well as evidence-based updates to the pre-, intra-, and post-procedural logistics, clinical standards and patient flow, the document also includes an expanded section on CCL governance, administration, and approach to quality metrics. This update also acknowledges the collaboration with various specialties, including discussion of the heart team approach to management, and working with electrophysiology colleagues in particular. It is hoped that this document will be utilized by hospitals, health systems, as well as regulatory bodies involved in assuring and maintaining quality, safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of patient throughput in this high volume area.
