Abstract:
:This report presents a 60-year-old female who had acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction and a grade 3/6 pansystolic murmur at left lower sternal border. Color Doppler echocardiographic examination revealed the presence of a ventricular septal defect which was later confirmed by contrast left ventriculography and at the time of operation. Urgent operation with closure of ventricular septum was performed and the cardiac murmur disappeared. One day after operation a grade 3/6 pansystolic murmur at left lower sternal border was heard and hypotension was noted. Color Doppler echocardiographic examination demonstrated another ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent re-operation due to hemodynamic instability. At operation, a new ventricular septal defect was noted while the previous patch was intact.
