Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare complication after acute myocardial infarction, with an incidence rate of 1-2% of all myocardial infarcts (Hutchins, 1979). It is a medical emergency with sobering survival numbers, having a mortality rate of 70–80% within two weeks of the incident event (Bouchart et al., 1998). Cardiac surgery is considered the gold standard in the management of these defects; however, its main limitation is that it carries a high risk of perioperative mortality and postoperative sequelae. Percutaneous transcatheter closure of VSD is a relatively new method of repair. Due to scarcity of reports in the literature, there is limited data regarding survival data; however, noninferiority to surgery has been demonstrated in one case series (Papalexopoulou et al., 2013). Long-term follow-up studies are lacking, and thus long-term mortality has yet to be discerned. We present a case of an 87-year-old female who, following postmyocardial infarction VSD, developed clinically significant heart failure. The patient was reluctant to undergo open repair given her age and comorbidities and she underwent successful percutaneous repair of her VSD using a 16 mm Amplatzer occluder device 18 months after her initial presentation.

Giant coronary aneurysm presented initially as acute ventricular septal rupture in a 65-year-old man. At surgery, aneurysms measuring more than 10 cm each were found in the right coronary and left anterior descending arteries. The right coronary artery was bypassed and the aneurysm was plicated. A 2-cm ventricular septal defect was patched. Postoperatively, the patient's condition deteriorated and he succumbed to septic shock.

A term female with prenatally diagnosed D-Transposition of the great arteries, large membranous ventricular septal defect with inlet extension, moderate secundum atrial septal defect, and large patent ductus arteriosus (Fig 1) was born by scheduled caesarean section. Transthoracic echocardiogram confirmed the anatomy with both coronary arteries arising from a single sinus with separate ostia. The right coronary artery arose from right posterior facing sinus (Fig 2). The left coronary artery arose anomalously from the same sinus adjacent to the right coronary artery ostium, coursing posterior to the aorta, with brief intramural and interarterial course before bifurcating into the left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries (Figs 3 and 4). As a result of this unique coronary pattern, she underwent unroofing of the intramural left coronary artery noted on opening the aortic root to the coronary ostium. Both coronary buttons were harvested and this large button was then divided into two buttons. The left coronary artery button was implanted with a trapdoor technique, right coronary artery button was implanted, and the remainder of the arterial switch procedure along with LeCompte maneuver was completed uneventfully, with closure of the atrial and ventricular septal defects. The post-operative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the seventh post-operative day. At discharge, the patient had normal biventricular systolic function, no residual intracardiac shunt, and robust antegrade flow in the reimplanted coronary arteries. The patient was growing well at the fourth month post-operative visit with normal biventricular function, patent coronaries, and outflow tracts.
