Risk calculators and risk factors for Myocardial rupture other diagnostic studies

  • Using a Swan-Ganz catheter to measure oxygen saturations upstream in the right atrium and downstream in the pulmonary artery can be used a diagnostic method when suspecting a post-infarct VSD.
  • A case of temporary closure of a post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) has been reported. A Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted through a femoral transvenous approach. This resulted in substantial improvement in the hemodynamic status of the patient. Six hr later, the patient underwent surgery for VSD closure. When immediate surgical intervention is not possible, it may be helpful to stabilize the patient until surgery can be performed. Thus, such a treatment has potential as a temporary measure for patients awaiting surgical repair of post-infarction VSD.[1]
