Abstract
Ventricular septal ruptures are an uncommon complication following acute myocardial infarction. Operative repair, utilizing a patch for closure of the defect, is the primary treatment modality to achieve hemodynamic stability. The use of an extracellular matrix derived from small intestinal submucosa as a scaffold for tissue repair is becoming increasingly common. Here, we present the case of a 58-year-old female found to have a ventricular septal rupture and posterior left ventricular aneurysm following late presentation after a myocardial infarction that required operative repair with a CorMatrix patch. Upon readmission for dyspnea and poor exercise tolerance several months later, the patch was subsequently found to have near-completely reabsorbed. There is a paucity of long-term outcomes data following the use of CorMatrix for septal defects, with rare reports of such reabsorption. Further study is required to identify the incidence and implications of such findings.

Abstract
Objectives: We reviewed our results and experience over a 14-year period to identify predictors of outcome following surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture. Methods: A retrospective review was carried over a 14-year period. All patients had surgical repair of a postinfarction ventricular septal rupture. Patient demographics, perioperative variables, and survival data were collected. Logistic regression identified independent predictors of 30-day mortality. Multivariate analysis determined the effects of independent risk factors on survival. Results: Surgery for postinfarction ventricular septal rupture was carried out on 59 patients. The median age was 69 years, and 69% were male. In 54% of patients, the ventricular septal rupture was anterior, and 75% had concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting. Mortality was 39% at 30 days. Age was the most important predictor of 30-day and long-term outcome. Logistic regression analysis identified age, preoperative ventilation, and female sex as significant predictors of 30-day mortality. Cardiogenic shock, preoperative ventilation, and advanced age were associated with reduced medium-term survival. Surprisingly, anterior ventricular septal rupture was associated with reduced long-term survival. Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting did not influence 30-day or long-term outcome. Conclusions: Despite advances, the surgical mortality from ventricular septal rupture remains high. Age remains the most important predictor of outcome, and concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting does not appear to have a demonstrable benefit. Interestingly, anterior ventricular septal rupture had poorer long-term outcome than inferior ventricular septal rupture.

Abstract
Ventricular septal perforation (VSP) is a serious complication associated with acute myocardial infarction (MI). The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of in-hospital death in patients with postinfarction VSP. Between January 1990 and April 2010, we identified 37 patients from our hospital records. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to find the determinants of in-hospital death. In-hospital mortality was 35% (13/37 patients). History of hypertension (P = 0.03), percutaneous coronary intervention (P = 0.04), and preoperative percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (P = 0.04) were associated with in-hospital death, whereas history of hyperlipidemia was associated with in-hospital survival. The interval from MI to VSP in survivors was significantly longer than that in nonsurvivors (P < 0.01). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, a shorter interval from MI to VSP (odds ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.34-0.95, P = 0.03) was found to be an independent predictor of in-hospital death. In conclusion, in-hospital mortality was high in patients with postinfarction VSP. A shorter interval from MI to VSP was a significant independent predictor of in-hospital death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The incidence of residual opening after repair of postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) was reported to be 10% to 25%. Redo surgery with remedial sternotomy is more complex than primary surgery and is consequently associated with higher mortality and morbidity due to the myocardial and patent coronary grafts injury during pericardial dissection. METHODS A 59-year-old female patient had coronary artery bypass grafting and closure of post myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect with patch 10 months earlier in a different cardiac center. She was admitted to the hospital for severe congestive heart failure. RESULTS She was operated because of the residual opening after repair of post myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect. Post myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect closure was performed through the right atrium by on-pump beating heart technique via the right thoracotomy. CONCLUSIONS Closure of post myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect with this technique offers an alternative and safe approach to repair of the residual VSD when the coronary bypass grafts are patent.

Abstract
Given their low incidence, mechanical complications of AMI represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the EP. When the panoply of medical interventions has reached its limitation, surgical treatment plays a role in the management of the patient who has AMI. For patients who have CS and severe compromise of myocardial reserve, surgical intervention might represent the only means of restoring blood flow to the myocardium. For patients who have mechanical complications, correction of the defect before the onset of terminal organ failure might provide long-term survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early repair of posterior ventricular septal rupture associated with myocardial infarction by means of transinfarct ventriculotomy is technically challenging and can be associated with significant mortality and morbidity. An alternative route of exposing the septum is through the right atrium. This technique, which avoids direct incision of the ventricle in select patients, reduces postrepair bleeding and impairment of ventricular contractile function. METHODS The results of 12 patients operated on over a 20-year period were reviewed and analyzed. Late follow-up was obtained in all patients who survived the operation. There were 9 men and 3 women, with a mean age of 69.9 years. The mean time between acute myocardial infarction and surgery was 7.3 days (range, 2-16 days). Six patients were in New York Heart Association class IV, and 3 patients presented for surgery in cardiogenic shock. One patient had previously undergone a coronary artery bypass. The surgical technique included a standard sternotomy approach with a transatrial approach to the septal rupture. In all patients the septal rupture was repaired with a Dacron patch. RESULTS There were 3 early deaths and 1 late death; one patient was reoperated on for a residual shunt. Postoperative complications included low cardiac output, acute renal tubular necrosis, and supraventricular arrhythmia. Eight patients are alive and undergoing echocardiographic investigation, and only 1 patient had a small residual shunt. CONCLUSION Our experience shows that a posterior ventricular septal rupture can be safely repaired through a transatrial approach. Avoiding additional damage to the ventricle, it reduces the risks of the postoperative bleeding and enhances survival.

Abstract
Despite improved screening and diagnostic capabilities for the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), with the promise of improved outcomes from earlier therapeutic interventions, postinfarction ventricular septal perforation (VSD) continues to be a very difficult therapeutic challenge. In our experience with VSD, the incidence of this complication per year has decreased, almost certainly related to earlier and more effective medical therapy in patients with CAD. By contrast, the outcomes of surgical repair have not improved, even with an aggressive strategy about bypassing involved coronary arteries. Furthermore, the earliest possible surgical approach and the incorporation of a number of technical advances, especially those relating to myocardial preservation, have not had an apparent effect. Because the number of patients who underwent operation is small, it is not possible from our single-institutional experience to define statistical significance to our continuing observations of this condition, suggesting that the clinical spectrum of postinfarction VSD is still evolving. Important changes appear to be associated with an increase in the number of female patients observed (60%), in contrast to their lesser frequency of uncomplicated coronary bypass (18%) and a change in the anatomic substrate, with posterior infarctions and rupture now accounting for 73% of cases at Cedars-Sinai. For the present, earliest possible surgical intervention to minimize the severity of multi-organ failure and use all of the advanced therapeutic modalities of cardiac support and surgical therapy that are available continues to be indicated. For the long term, continuing advances in the earlier diagnosis and more aggressive management of CAD, especially in females, may hold the best promise for a continued decrease in the occurrence of this very difficult-to-treat postinfarction complication.

Abstract
A case of a 62-year-old woman suffering an acute cardiac arrest during a court dispute is presented. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was immediately started by bystanders. In hospital there were signs of intrathoracic bleeding. A left thoracotomy revealed a cardiac rupture of the left ventricle and a large pericardial tear. Intraoperative evaluation of the heart as well as postoperative enzyme levels and ECG did not indicate acute myocardial infarction. The rupture may therefore be traumatic. The cardiac rupture was sutured five hours after the initial resuscitation, and the patient discharged from the intensive care unit two days after the rupture without clinical signs of neurological injury. A precordial thump is advised before start of external chest compression. One beneficial effect may be that the ventricles empty and the risk of traumatic rupture during compression is reduced.
