Abstract
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but serious complication following acute myocardial infarction (MI). Patients may present with a new murmur associated with a thrill. Right heart catheterization will demonstrate elevated right atrial and pulmonary artery pressures as well as an oxygen stepβup at the right ventricular level. Patients with a right ventricular infarction or cardiogenic shock and a ventricular septal rupture have high inβhospital mortality rates. Prompt diagnosis followed by surgical repair is essential for patients with VSR following MI. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2003;60:509β514. Β© 2003 WileyβLiss, Inc.

The following case is the first report of successful repair of combined left and right ventricular free wall and ventricular septal rupture. Reports of left ventricular free wall and septal rupture and reports of right ventricular free wall and septal rupture have been published both with and withou
