Aims: Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with a poor prognosis. Surgical repair is the mainstay of treatment, although percutaneous closure is increasingly undertaken.
Methods And Resuts: Patients treated with surgical or percutaneous repair of PIVSD (2010-2021) were identified at 16 UK centres.
