ECG showed ST-segment elevation in anterior and inferior leads. Coronary angiography revealed thrombotic occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending artery, successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Transthoracic echocardiography later revealed an 11\u2005mm inferobasal ventricular septal rupture. Due to high surgical risk (EuroSCORE II &amp;gt;50%) in the setting of renal failure and recent dual antiplatelet therapy, the multidisciplinary Heart Team opted for delayed percutaneous closure. Fifteen days after symptom onset, a 16\u2005mm CERA\u00ae occluder was successfully deployed with only trivial residual shunt. The patient showed rapid clinical improvement, was weaned from intra-aortic balloon pump and vasopressors, and discharged on Day 20 to cardiac rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case illustrates the feasibility and efficacy of delayed percutaneous closure of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture in a critically ill patient. While surgery remains standard therapy, percutaneous closure offers a viable life-saving alternative in select high-risk patients, especially when delayed to allow scar formation. Mechanical circulatory support may serve as a bridge to intervention. Multidisciplinary Heart Team collaboration is essential for optimal individualized management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjcr\/ytaf656","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,13]],"date-time":"2025-12-13T12:58:05Z","timestamp":1765630685000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Multidisciplinary transcatheter rescue of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture in cardiogenic shock: expanding the role of percutaneous closure\u2014case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2838-5267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Italo Menezes","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology , Avenida Doutor Dante Pazzanese 500, S\u00e3o Paulo, 04012180 ,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0107-7726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raphael Paris","family":"Rosan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology , Avenida Doutor Dante Pazzanese 500, S\u00e3o Paulo, 04012180 ,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5531-4822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rodrigo Dantas","family":"Ferraz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Residency Program, Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology , Avenida Doutor Dante Pazzanese 500, S\u00e3o Paulo, 04012180 ,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-0261-6471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno Querido Marcondes","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Residency Program, Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology , Avenida Doutor Dante Pazzanese 500, S\u00e3o Paulo, 04012180 ,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-7014-690X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos Augusto Cardoso","family":"Pedra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Cardiology, Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology , Avenida Doutor Dante Pazzanese 500, S\u00e3o Paulo, 04012180 ,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2535-4342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio Tito Paladino","family":"Filho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Imaging, Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology , Avenida Doutor Dante Pazzanese 500, S\u00e3o Paulo, 04012180 ,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1754-8876","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fausto","family":"Feres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Cardiology, Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology , Avenida Doutor Dante Pazzanese 500, S\u00e3o Paulo, 04012180 ,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4823-9673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Louis Nakayama","family":"Ohe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Cardiology, Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology , Avenida Doutor Dante Pazzanese 500, S\u00e3o Paulo, 04012180 ,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026011611020971100_ytaf656-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1825","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcin.2019.04.039","article-title":"Temporal trends and outcomes of mechanical complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction","volume":"12","author":"Elbadawi","year":"2019","journal-title":"JACC Cardiovasc Interv"},{"key":"2026011611020971100_ytaf656-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2478","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehae363","article-title":"Ventricular septal defect complicating acute myocardial infarction: diagnosis and management.
