title: Transcatheter closure of recurrent postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect facilitated by percutaneous left ventricle access.
abstract: We report a case of a 68-year-old woman with a basal postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect that recurred 4 months after initial surgical repair. Successful transcatheter closure using an Amplatzer Muscular VSD Occluder was facilitated by direct percutaneous left ventricular access.
