VSD [5]. Despite the high mortality with surgery, the current American College of Cardiology of American Heart Association Guidelines recom­mend surgical repair regardless of hemodynamic status [6].
Transcatheter device closure of PMI-VSD has been attempted in lieu of surgery in the acute, subacute and chronic phase as an alternative to surgery and has been reported in case reports and small case series. A larger case series of 29 patients undergoing attempted transcatheter PMI-VSD closure showed 25/29 acute successes but with a mortality of 72% overall. Most of these procedures however were done in patients in the acute phase with 16 patients in shock and all on IABP support [7]. Another study of 17 patient had 12 acute successes with a survival of 65%. Only 5 of the 17 however were on IABP and most of the survivors were those >3weeks out from MI [8].
Overall, the data is inconclusive favoring sur­gical or transcatheter closure in the acute phase but it is clear that there is a high risk of mortality for those patients in shock needing mechanical support and that waiting for some time after the acute insult is preferable if the patient’s condition can tolerate this.
There are several choices for devices for PMI­VSD closure. Initial experience with the Cardioseal device described by Landzberg and Lock in 1998 was unsatisfactory except for the smallest defects [9]. Development of braided nitinol devices of the Amplatzer family (now a part of Abbott Laboratories) was met with better success. The Amplatzer muscular VSD occluder designed for congenital VSDs comes in a range of sizes from 6 through 18mm in 2mm incre­ments. The central waist is 7mm long and the disks are equal in size and 8mm larger than the central waist. Abbott also makes a specic device for PMI-VSD [10]. The PMI-VSD occluder is available in sizes from 16 through 24mm with the disks 10mm larger than the central waist and a central waist length of 10mm. The PMI-VSD occluder was available for several years only on an emergency use basis however the device has now received an HDE approval making access to
the device somewhat less cumbersome in the United States. One of the problems with the PMI­VSD occluder is that even the largest size may not be sufciently large for many of the hemody­namically signicant lesions. For larger PMI­VSD defects, the Amplatzer Septal Occluder provides a much larger range of sizes with waist diameters up to 38 mm with a left-sided disk 12–14mm larger than the central waist and a cen­tral waist that is 4 mm long. Occlutech and Ceraex make similarly designed devices avail­able outside the US. For small defects, the Amplatzer Duct Occluder II and the Amplatzer Vascular plugs can also be considered.
Location of the defect and proximity to the AV valves is important in determining the feasibility of transcatheter closure. The device disks cannot be in contact with the AV valves or it will cause regurgitation or perforate the leaet. Patients who have other lesions that require surgical inter­vention such as pseudoaneurysm or mitral chordal rupture with ail, or those who require surgical coronary revascularization are also not good candidates for transcatheter PMI-VSD clo­sure. The defect always appears smaller by echo­cardiography than the needed occluder size because the edges of the defect are necrotic and soft and so anticipating needing to oversize the device by at least 1.5 × compared to the defect size by echocardiography is expected. Larger defects more than 10–15mm are also much more challenging and prone to failure or complications.
The surgical team felt this patient was a surgi­cal candidate for closure. Her young age and pre­morbid status (she was living on her own independently) favored a surgical approach but her comorbidities (smoking, diabetes, prior stroke, recent myocardial infarction) made the surgical team cautious. A primary transcatheter closure was discussed. Given the relatively small apparent size of the VSD it was felt that primary transcatheter closure was feasible. However, the basal location of the defect and the proximity to the mitral valve made us cautious that we would not be able to signicantly oversize the defect without risk of interference with the mitral valve.

Heart Team Decision
The decision was made to proceed for primary transcatheter closure.
Intraprocedural Imaging Modalities andMeasurements
Cath Procedure #1
The access for PMI-VSD closure will depend on the VSD location and the planned device selec­tion. For most larger VSDs, it is preferable to cross the VSD from the LV side as crossing from the RV side is more difcult and the catheter and device can become ensnared in the tricuspid apparatus and RV trabeculations. Additionally, it is preferable to open the LV disk of the device and pull it ush with the septum to create the best seal. After crossing the VSD from the LV side, the wire and catheter are typically easily advanced to the pulmonary artery. The wire can then be snared in the pulmonary artery from a venous approach and exteriorized. The delivery sheath is then advanced over the exteriorized wire from the venous approach through the RA, RV and VSD to the LV where the LV disk is opened, pulled ush with the septum and the RV disk is then formed. For apical VSDs, an internal jugular vein approach is the least tortuous whereas for basal VSDs, a femoral approach is easier.
Access was obtained in the right femoral vein (9 Fr) and right femoral artery (6 Fr). The VSD was rst imaged by TEE and the defect appeared to be in the basal septum close to the mitral and tricuspid valves and ~1.3cm in diameter (Figs.4 and 5). An LV angiogram was performed show­ing the basal defect and the size measured ~10mm by angiography (Fig.6). The VSD was crossed retrograde with a 6 Fr JR4 catheter (Fig.7). A 260 cm 0.035 wire was then passed through the catheter and advanced to the pulmo­nary artery. The wire was then snared in the right pulmonary artery with a 30 mm Gooseneck snare (Fig.8) and exteriorized out the right fem-

oral vein (Fig.9). Care needs to be taken when pulling the wire through the heart to also advance the wire and keep the catheter in place on the wire until it is pulled through the heart to avoid the wire acting like a saw and damaging the heart.

In this patient, we did not have easy availabil­ity of the PMI-VSD occluder. Given the antici­pated size of the defect however, we thought the largest mVSD occluder would provide a good t.

Fig. 10 Deployment of 18 mm Amplatzer mVSD occluder. The LV disk (26 mm in diameter) is gently pulled ush against the septum and the waist is in the VSD
A 9 Fr Amplatzer delivery sheath was advanced over the wire from the femoral vein through the RA, RV, VSD, LV to the ascending aorta. The dilator and wire were removed. An 18mm mVSD occluder was then advanced and the LV disk and connecting waist opened in the LV and pulled gently against the septum (Fig.10). However, the defect was obviously larger and not as rigid as we had anticipated and the VSD ow was able to easily push the LV disk (26 mm) through the VSD to the RV (Fig.11). The device was recaptured in the RV.
We considered recrossing and placing a larger device but the proximity to the mitral valve gave us pause. Given that the 26 mm disk of the device could easily pass through the defect, we anticipated that we would need a device with at least a 30mm waist. That meant choosing an Amplatzer Septal Occluder that has a larger disk:central waist ratio and we were concerned that would risk interfer­ence with the mitral valve. An ad-hoc heart team meeting with the patient on the table was convened and we decided the patient would be better-off with a surgical approach. The sheaths were removed and patient taken back to the ICU with the balloon­pump still in-place, intubated in stable condition.
Fig. 11 The defect margins were too friable to hold the device and the 18mm mVSD occluder prolapsed through the VSD to the RV where it was recaptured and removed
Surgical Procedure
The following day the patient was taken for sur­gical VSD closure. On bypass, a longitudinal incision was made in the LV lateral to the poste­rior descending coronary artery. The VSD was identied and 2–0 pledgeted Ethibond sutures were used to secure a bovine pericardial patch. Given the extent of RV dysfunction, a surgical tricuspid ring was also placed, and the left atrial appendage was clipped. A small residual VSD was seen by TEE post-operatively.
Post-surgical Course
The patient had a difcult post-operative course. She initially weaned from inotropic support but when the balloon pumped was removed, her lac­tate increased, and she required reinsertion of the IABP and reinitiation of inotropes. She devel­oped renal failure and required hemodialysis. By post-op day 15 it was clear that she was not pro­gressing with medical management. A TEE showed a signicant residual VSD with main­tained LV function (Fig.12).

The heart team reconvened, and we decided that another more aggressive attempt at trans­catheter PMI-VSD closure was warranted.
Cath Procedure #2
On post-op day 17 the patient was brought back to the cath lab. Access was obtained in the RFV (12 Fr) and RFA (6 Fr). Angiography from the LV showed a large VSD (Fig.13). The VSD was crossed retrograde in a similar fashion to attempt
#1 and the wire snared in the pulmonary artery and exteriorized. This time, balloon sizing with a 24mm Amplatzer sizing balloon was performed. The balloon waist measured 19 mm (Fig. 14). Given the prior difculty with the device pulling through the defect, we decided we needed a device with a waist ~1.5 × the size of the defect. A 30 mm Amplatzer Septal Occluder was cho­sen. This device has a central waist measuring 30mm and a left disk that is 44mm and a right atrial disk that is 42mm. The femoral sheath was upsized to a 16 Fr short sheath and a 12 Fr Amplatzer delivery sheath passed from the femo­ral vein through the defect and out the aorta. The left disk was opened in the LV and pulsed ush against the septum (Fig.15). TEE showed the left disk to be close to, but not touching the mitral valve (Fig.16). The right disk was then uncov­ered. Initially the RV disk had a “cobra-head” shape that can occur when there is insufcient room for the disk to form or when there is torque on the device, however the device was stable and was unscrewed from the delivery cable and released (Fig. 17). Over the course of the next 5min, the right disk slowly reoriented to a more nominal shape.

Repeat hemodynamics were much improved with a Qp/Qs of 1.2:1 with a small residual VSD through the device fabric by angiography (Fig. 18) and TEE. TEE also conrmed no increase in tricuspid regurgitation (Fig.19).
Post Procedural Assessment
The patient improved considerably after the transcatheter VSD closure. The IABP was able to be removed 2days later and she weaned off all inotropic support. He renal function did not recover and she required a tunneled dialysis cath­eter. At the time of tunneled dialysis catheter placement 2 weeks after device placement, her hemodynamics were repeated showing a Qp/Qs of 1.14:1 and a wedge pressure of 11 mmHg. Fluoroscopy showed the disks to have reformed

Clinical Controversies andClinical Pearls
• Echo derived Qp:Qs are not accurate and shunt calculations from oxygen saturations is necessary to conrm shunt severity in post MI VSD’s.
• Hemodynamic stabilization by dropping SVR and increasing CO is key to decreasing left to right shunt, supporting patient to the time of PMI-VSD closure.
• PMI-VSD’s always appear smaller on echo­cardiography and sizing should be 1.5 times larger than imaging predicts.

– The best outcomes for transcatheter PMI-
VSD closure occur after attempted surgical closure or if the patient can be managed medi­cally for several weeks to allow for the mar­gins of the VSD to become better dened. This may not be possible with large PMI-VSDs.
– Specic devices for transcatheter PMI-VSD
closure are often too small for the largest, hemodynamically signicant defects but other off-label devices such as ASD Occluders can be used.

Key Points
– PMI-VSD remains a difcult problem.
Surgical and transcatheter approaches for hemodynamically signicant VSDs with shock are difcult and continue to have a high mortality.
An 84year old woman presents with shortness of breath after 1week of chest pain. She is found to have an evolving myocardial infarction. She has a holosystolic murmur at the apex and an echocar­diogram shows an LVEF of ~60% and an apical post-MI VSD.The patient has cool extremities and minimal urine output. A Swan-Ganz catheter

is placed and a pulmonary artery saturation is 82% with the patient breathing room air. Thermodilution cardiac output is performed and shows a CO of 7 LPM.PA pressure 50/22 (38).
1. Which of the statements is true:
A. We should be worried—the patient is in
shock
B. We should be reassured—the patient has
good cardiac output
C. We should be reassured—the patient has a
small VSD
D. We should be reassured—the patient has a
normal LVEFAnswer: A
Explanation: Cool extremities and low urine output indicate shock. The high pulmo­nary artery saturation of 82% reects left to right shunt secondary to what must be a sig­nicant VSD.The mixed venous saturation is best estimated by the SVC saturation would be low in this patient. Thermodilution will reect the PULMONARY ow—not the sys­temic ow. The LVEF is often higher than expected in these patients owing to the low afterload because the majority of the blood is being ofoaded to the low resistance pulmo­nary circuit.
2. To calculate the pulmonary to systemic ow ratio (Qp/Qs) we need the following addi­tional data:
A. Right atrial and aortic saturation B. SVC and aortic saturation C. Pulmonary capillary wedge and aortic
saturations
D. Cannot calculate Qp/Qs in this scenario-
Answer: B
Explanation: In a patient with a large
post-MI VSD, the ratio of pulmonary:systemic ow (Qp/Qs) can be calculated with the aid of a pulmonary artery catheter. The formula is as follows:
Qp/Qs = Aortic sat (%) Mixed venous sat (%)/Pulmonary vein sat (%) Pulmonary artery sat (%). The SVC saturation obtained from the side port of an internal jugular vein sheath is the best proxy for a mixed venous saturation. Noteworthy to add that RA sam­pling can miss small left-to-right shunt due to
incomplete mixing of blood entering from SVC, IVC and coronary sinus. The aortic sat­uration is the arterial saturation obtained from an arterial line or pulse oximeter. The pulmo­nary vein saturation is the same as the aortic saturation as there is no signicant right to left shunt in this lesion, and the pulmonary artery saturation is obtained from the pulmonary artery catheter.
3. Medical optimization of this patient would be best achieved with
A. Norepinephrine B. Intraaortic balloon pump C. Epinephrine D. Inhaled nitric oxideAnswer: B
Explanation: Epinephrine and norepi­nephrine would increase the systemic vascular resistance and worsen the shunting and worsen systemic output. IABP lowers the systemic resistance favoring systemic ow. The pulmonary artery pressure is high due to high left to right ow. Nitric oxide would further lower the pulmonary vascular resistance and worsen left to right shunt at the VSD.
4. Contraindication for transcatheter post-MI VSD closure in this patient would be
A. Renal failure B. Defect size >10mm C. Apical location D. Mitral valve chordal rupture with severe
MRAnswer: D
Explanation: Additional defects that require surgical repair are contraindications to transcatheter PMI-VSD closure.
5. After successful VSD closure, the patient’s LVEF compared to pre-closure would be expected to
A. Remain the same B. Increase C. DecreaseAnswer: C
Explanation: With VSD closure, the lower afterload of the pulmonary system is elimi­nated and the volume load on the left ventricle decreases. Both the increase in afterload and the decrease in preload will make the LVEF decrease even though the cardiac muscle abil­ity is unchanged.
