Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography to diagnose ventricular septal rupture

1993

BACKGROUND Rapid and accurate diagnosis of ventricular septal rupture (VSR) remains difficult, and the monitoring of hemodynamic deterioration is a prerequisite for the institution of adequate therapy. The timing of surgical repair is a matter of controversy. METHODS Transthoracic, transesophageal, color Doppler, and contrast echocardiography were evaluated in 17 patients with VSR in whom the diagnosis was confirmed by catheterization, surgery, or necropsy. RESULTS Routine transthoracic echocardiography visualized VSR in four out of 17 patients and, with additional views, in 12 out of 17 patients. Color Doppler echocardiography identified the rupture in 15 out of 16, and contrast echocardio…

Echocardiographic Assessment of Ventricular Septal Rupture and Left Ventricular Aneurysm after Inferior and Posterior Myocardial Infarction

2018

We present a case of posterior ventricular septal rupture associated to left ventricular aneurysm manged, during peri-operative period, by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography findings add adjunctive and more accurate information regarding morphological details of the ventricular septal rupture rather than two-dimensional echocardiography, allowing, meanwhile, the detection of the outcome of the surgical repair.

Temporal trends in postinfarction ventricular septal rupture: the CIVIAM Registry

2020

Abstract Introduction and objectives Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture is a rare but severe complication of myocardial infarction with high mortality rates. Our goal was to analyze which factors could have an impact on mortality due to this entity over the past decade, including those related to mechanical circulatory support . Methods The CIVIAM registry is an observational, retrospective, multicenter study carried out in Spain. We designed a comparative analysis, focused on description of in-hospital management and in-hospital and 1-year total mortality as the primary endpoints, dividing the total observation time into 2 equal temporal periods (January 2008 to June2013 and July 20…
