Official title
Multicenter Study on Post-acute Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Defect: Outcome Evalutation in Relation to Surgical Timing
Overview
The main objective of the study is to identify the optimal surgical timing for the treatment of intraventricular defects after acute myocardial infarction.
Detailed description
Identify the optimal timing for the treatment of post-infarction ventricular defect, considering the time interval between the clinical-instrumental diagnosis and the surgical intervention.
Primary outcome measures
- Identify the optimal timing for the surgical intervention. [Time frame: Possible timing for surgery can be: onset of the infarction episode, hospital admission, before seven days from the acute myocardial infarction or after seven days from the acute myocardial infarction.]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Patients over eighteen years of age
- Patients with post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect treated surgically
- Patients who have signed the informed consent
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with post-infarction ventricular septal defect treated with medical/conservative therapy
- Patients with ventricular septal defects not due to acute myocardial infarction
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
