Fig 1 Percutaneous closure of a septal rupture with the catheter-based ventricular septal Amplatzer device. This figure shows how percutaneous closure could be an alternative or a bridge to surgical repair in selected patients.

Fig 2 Proposed algorithm to treat postinfarction ventricular septal defects (VSDs). We propose a new multidisciplinary algorithm where acute small or medium VSD could be treated initially with a ventricular septal occluder. (CABG = coronary artery bypass graft; MI = myocardial infarction; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; TTE = transthoracic echocardiography.)
