ACC/AHA Guidelines- Recommendations for Ventricular Septal Rupture After STEMI ^[1]

Class I
"1. Patients with STEMI complicated by the development of a ventricular septal rupture (VSR) should be considered for urgent cardiac surgical repair, unless further support is considered futile because of the patient’s wishes or contraindications/ unsuitability for further invasive care. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. Coronary artery bypass grafting should be undertaken at the same time as repair of the ventricular septal rupture (VSR). (Level of Evidence: B)"
