A Novel Treatment Using an Intraventricular Stent Graft for Postinfarction Ventricular Septal Rupture in a Porcine Model

Conclusions: The use of our new IVSG in this VSR animal experiment model significantly decreased the left-to-right shunt. The new device was able to control the acute heart failure associated with VSR with a minimally invasive procedure during the hyperacute phase of heart failure. Potential improvements in VSR treatment outcomes are expected with its clinical application.
