RESUMO

A 73-year-old woman was admitted to St. Margaret's Hospital with a history of an acute anteroseptal infarction, a loud cardiac murmur, and low cardiac output. Cardiac catheterization revealed a large, high ventricular septal defect and normal coronary arteries. Despite successful closure of the ventricular septal rupture, death occurred in the operating room due to severe right ventricular dysfunction.
