1 Postinfarction Ventricular Septal Defects: Towards a New Treatment Algorithm? 
Simon Maltais, MD, MS, Reda Ibrahim, MD, Arsène-Joseph Basmadjian, MD, Michel Carrier, MD, Denis Bouchard, MD, Raymond Cartier, MD, Philippe Demers, MD, Martin Ladouceur, MS, Michel Pellerin, MD, Louis P.

2 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.

3 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.)
