Overview

In this case review, the authors describe a case of a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction- an interventricular septal defect. The surgery could be postponed, to allow for a safer and technically simpler procedure a month after the onset of the heart attack and of the ventricular septal defect.

Key words:
acute myocardial infarction – interventricular septal defect
