Abstract
A 65-year old patient was admitted after having sustained a ventricular septum rupture 18 days after an anterior myocardial infarction. He developed acute heart failure. Given the extremely high perioperative risk in surgical approaches in this setting, we decided for a transcatheter closure of the defect with an exclusively venous approach. After a complete recovery, the patient underwent open heart surgery with aorto coronary bypass, aneurysmectomy, and removal of the closure device. This case demonstrates that transcatheter closure of a post infarction ventricular septum rupture is a technically feasible and suitable method.
