title: Apparent rupture of the ventricular septum after myocardial infarction in an infant with congenital heart disease.
abstract: Clinical and angiocardiographic simulation of rupture of the interventricular septum, in an infant with an endocardial cushion defect and documented myocardial infarction is reported. Close straddling of a proven congenital muscular apical ventricular septal defect by trabeculae carne is believed to have led to the angiocardiographic simulation of a post-infarction apical ventricular septal defect. In the surgical approach to post-infarction ventricular septal defects, the implication of such a simulation could be important.
