This study evaluated outcomes of 26 patients who underwent surgical repair of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) at Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences between 1997-2012. 20 patients underwent VSD repair with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting, while 6 had VSD closure alone. The mean time between MI and VSD appearance was 7.2 days, and between VSD appearance and surgery was 27.2 days. Overall in-hospital mortality was 30.9% and 30-day mortality was 33%. Patients who underwent emergency surgery within 3 days of MI had 100% mortality, while those operated on after 3 weeks had 100% survival. Concomitant CABG during VSD repair was associated with lower
