Abstract
- We report a case of a postinfarction ventricular septal defect caused by an acute recurrent occlusion after the implantation of a covered stent, which was performed as a rescue procedure for the ruptured left anterior descending artery during a percutaneous coronary intervention. Although the emergent implantation of a covered stent for the ruptured coronary arteries such as the left main coronary artery or the origins of the left anterior descending artery can be performed during a percutaneous coronary intervention, and a coronary bypass surgery should be considered in order to decrease the risk of complete occlusion, thus providing a superior long term patency.
