Disease relevance of Ventricular Septal Rupture

• Double-patch closure using gelatin resorcine formol glue of a ventricular septal perforation following acute myocardial infarction [1].

High impact information on Ventricular Septal Rupture

• Transcatheter closure of a residual ventricular septal defect was successfully done using a new device, the Amplatzer septal occluder, in a 50 year old Indian man who had previously undergone emergency surgical repair for postinfarction acute ventricular septal rupture [2].
• Ventricular septal rupture following nonsurgical septal reduction for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: treatment with percutaneous closure [3].
• Compassionate use of the amplatzer ASD closure device for residual postinfarction ventricular septal rupture following surgical repair [4].
• Two cases of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture in patients on long-term steroid therapy are presented and the favourable outcome in both cases described [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Ventricular Septal Rupture

• Pathological findings of tissue reactivity of gelatin resorcin formalin glue: an autopsy case report of the repair of ventricular septal perforation [6].

Anatomical context of Ventricular Septal Rupture

• The ventricular septal perforation was repaired by stitching small and large bovine pericardial patches onto the affected septum from the side of the left ventricle, then cementing the two patches together with gelatin resorcine formol glue injected into the space between them [1].
