Fate of patients after the surgical repair of rupture of the ventricular septum following acute myocardial infarction - long-term follow-up
- Klinika kardiologie, Institut klinické a experimentální medicíny, Praha
Background: Rupture of the ventricular septum leads to severe mechanic compromise after acute myocardial infarction and has a dire effect on the survival of the patient.
Objectives: to review a number of patients with this diagnosis who underwent surgical intervention in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM), to determine the in-hospital mortality incidence and ascertain the future clinical course of patients after their discharge.
Methods: Diagnosis of post MI rupture of the ventricular septum was confirmed by echocardiography ( transthoracic or preferably transesophageal) or invasively by oximetric measurements of blood samples. Patients were subsequently followed up clinically and again by echocardiography.
Patients: A total number of 36 patients, who were operated on from 1992 to 5/2001 with this diagnosis, are being studied.
Conclusions: From the long-term follow-up, the successful surgical repair of a rupture of the ventricular septum following acute myocardial infarction yields a favorable prognosis in this group of patients.
Keywords: acute myocardial infarction, rupture of the ventricular septum following acute MI, surgical treatment.
