Post myocardial infarction interventricular septal aneurysm with ventricualr septal rupture a surgical challenge to repair: a case report.
J Cardiovascular Dis Jan ;12(4):106-8.

Post transmural myocardial infarction thinning and dilatation of myocardium can result in aneurysm formation. Incidence of aneurysm of muscular ventricular septum is rare as compared to membranous septum as only a few cases of dissecting septal aneurysm have been reported. In most of the cases there is previous history of myocardial infarction with highest incidence in patients who did not receive fibrinolytic therapy. We report a case of 70 years old male who presented with chest pain and subsequently diagnosed with inter-ventricular septal aneurysm communicating with right ventricle with left to right shunt. KEY WORDS:Inter-ventricular septal aneurysm, Ventricular septal rupture, Post myocardial infarction complications.
