Abstract

Background: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is drastically decreasing in the reperfusion era but mortality remains high. VSR correction is the definitive treatment and using mechanical support to delay closure is an attractive option despite data on success being limited. Case Illustration: A 60-year-old man presented with late presentation of anterior STEMI complicating hemodynamic deterioration. Echocardiography showed apical VSR 11-14 mm L-R shunt. Patient was given adequate fluids, multiple inotropic agents, and IABP insertion, then a successful PPCI procedure was performed immediately. IABP was maintained for hemodynamic stabilization and patient was scheduled for interventional closure. Unfortunately, the patient worsened due to cardiogenic shock and passed away on the 5th day of admission. In another case, a 61-year-old man came to our hospital also with a late presentation of anterior STEMI but stable in hemodynamics. Echocardiography showed apical VSR 9-11 mm L-R shunt. Coronary angiography showed CAD three vessel disease with critical stenosis at LAD. In hospital’s heart team discussion, patient was planned to be performed VSR closure percutaneously and continue with PCI procedure. Both procedures were performed successfully. Patient was improved and discharged on 20th day of admission. Conclusion: Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment are the keys to optimal management of VSR complicating late presentation STEMI. Mechanical circulatory support and correction of VSR are required to optimize patient outcomes despite VSR is still a challenging case.

Abstract

Introduction: Renal insufficiency (RI) is related to poor clinical results in STEMI patients receiving primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of RI on in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in STEMI patients receiving primary PCI. Methods: The study was predicated on the registry of 1447 STEMI patients from January 2020–December 2023. Study samples were categorized into two groups: RI (eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m²) and no RI (eGFR≥60mL/min/1.73m²). Patients’ characteristics and in-hospital MACE in the two groups underwent analysis. Results: Among 848 consecutive subjects, 238 (28%) had RI, and 610 (72%) had no RI. Age (p = 0.000), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.007), and onset STEMI>12 hours (0.043) were correlated with RI. Dyslipidemia (p = 0.025), Onset STEMI>12 hours (p = 0.006), and RI (p = 0.000) were correlated with MACE. RI was correlated with MACE (OR 2.04, 95% CI: 1.46–2.85, p = 0.000). RI was correlated with sub-group analysis of MACE; cardiogenic shock (OR 2.00, 95% CI: 1.34-2.99, p = 0.001), acute heart failure (OR 1.80, 95% CI: 1.22-2.65, p = 0.003), malignant arrhythmia (OR 2.40, 95% CI: 1.61-3.58, p = 0.000), and mortality (OR 2.74, 95% CI: 1.78-4.24, p = 0.000). Conclusions: RI was correlated with in-hospital MACE in STEMI patients receiving primary PCI. In a sub-group analysis of in-hospital MACE, RI constituted a strong independent predictor of cardiogenic shock, acute heart failure, malignant arrhythmia, and mortality, respectively.
