Early and late mortality and morbidity after post-MI ventricular septal rupture repair: predictors, strategies, and results

Purpose There has been a shift in the paradigm of management of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture (MI VSR), with many authors reporting improved prognosis if the surgery can be “optimally delayed.” Timing of the procedure is of critical importance and our management (UPMS), and prognosis scores (UPPS) have proven to be relevant. However, long-term outcomes and their correlation with our scores had not been analyzed. In this study, we present our long-term results of post-MI-VSR repair and their correlation with our prognosis score (UPPS).
