Post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but lethal mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. The incidence of VSR has decreased from 1-3% following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the pre-reperfusion era to 0.17-0.31% following primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Survival to 1 month without intervention is 6%. We report a case of a 60-year-old male, admitted in a peripheral hospital with acute anterior wall myocardial Infarction. He was thrombolized with streptokinase. He developed breathlessness at rest and shifted to our hospital for further management. On evaluation in intensive care unit found to have VSR. The patient was in cardiogenic shock. The ventricular septal rupture was successfully closed with a septal occluder device. After which the patient stabilized hemodynamically and was discharged after 8 days.
