Percutaneous Closure of Post‐Infarction Ventricular Septal Defects—An Over Decade‐long Experience

Abstract

In a selected population of patients percutaneous PIVSD closure is feasible and provides satisfactory survival rate. Procedural success has a protective impact on survival. Timing of the closure remains controversial. Procedure in the non-acute phase carries lower mortality, but at the same time introduces a selection bias. Larger registry-based studies are required.
