Abstract
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) following myocardial infarction is rare in the reperfusion era. The decrease in patients presenting with myocardial infarction during the coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic could result in more frequent VSR. This report describes two patients with VSR presenting late after myocardial infarction and treated at a single institution. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
Keywords: STEMI; STEMI, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; VSR, ventricular septal rupture; mechanical complication; myocardial infarction; ventricular septal defect; ventricular septal rupture.
