Successful percutaneous closure of post myocardial infarction left ventricular ruptured pseudoaneurysm after failed surgical repair

Abstract: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysms occur as a consequence of left ventricular free wall rupture contained by pericardium. This clinical situation is an uncommon but lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Surgery usually is the preferred therapeutic option but is associated with significant perioperative risk. We present a case of successful percutaneous closure of left ventricular ruptured pseudoaneurysm post myocardial infarction in a patient who failed two previous surgical repairs. Show more

“…The frequency of each of these conditions is so low that it is difficult to perform studies to prove the efficacy of a repair surgery. Percutaneous closure of a ruptured left ventricle with an Amplatzer muscular ventricular septal defect occluder may be an alternative, particularly in patients at a high operative risk [ 22 ]. Further research is warranted to reduce the risk of death in patients with cardiac rupture.…”

“…Although the patient treated in the latter report died a few days later due to pump failure, a similar case was treated successfully [17]. Percutaneous closure of ruptured left ventricular pseudoaneurysm with an Amplatzer muscular ventricular septal defect occluder was reported in a 45-year-old woman [18]. In highly selected cases patients have survived with conservative treatment [19].…”

“…The percutaneous closure of LVPA was performed on an urgent basis in 3 (3.2%) patients [13,20,23]. The percutaneous procedures succeeded on the first try in 79 (84.9%) patients, whereas failures were encountered during the percutaneous manoeuvres in 14 (15.1%) patients [10,11,14,24,30,44,51,54,[63][64][65][66][67]70].…”

“…The 66 recruited articles included 1 (1.5%) retrospective study [ 22 ], 4 (6.1%) case series [ 36 , 48 , 52 , 65 ], 43 (65.2%) case reports [ 5 , 7 , 9 – 11 , 13 , 14 , 17 21 , 24 , 25 , 27 – 32 , 34 , 35 , 38 – 40 , 42 , 43 , 45 47 , 49 51 , 54 , 55 , 58 , 60 , 62 , 63 , 66 68 , 71 ], 14 (21.2%) medical images [ 12 , 15 , 16 , 23 , 26 , 33 , 41 , 44 , 53 , 56 , 59 , 61 , 69 , 70 ], and 4 (6.1%) proceeding abstracts/posters [ 8 , 37 , 57 , 64 ]. There were a total of 93 patients, including 58 (63.0%) male and 34 (37.0%) female (χ 2 = 12.5, p = 0.001), with a male-to-female ratio of 1.7 : 1 (gender of 1 patient was unknown).…”
