Abstract
We report successful transcatheter closure of a post‐MI ventricular septal rupture acutely following unsuccessful surgical repair. Catheter closure was accomplished by the use of a 26‐mm Amplatzer atrial septal occluder. Initial attempts to close the defect with the use of 28‐mm and 33‐mm CARDIOSEAL were unsuccessful. Closure technique, immediate and long‐term follow‐up outcomes are reported. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2003;59:230–233. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
