Purpose: Ventricular septal defects (PMIVSD) after myocardial infarction are rare but have extremely high mortality and morbidity. Mortality rates and risk factors differ in many studies. Patients and Method: Between January 2006 and April 2020, we recurrently included patients operated due to PMIVSD in our clinic aged 18 and over. Results: 28 of 9451 patients with acute myocardial infarction were operated in our centre due to PMIVSD between 2006-2020. Our PMIVSD ratio was 0.296%. When comparing those who survived with those who were not survived, the only statistically meaningful thing was the duration of stay in the hospital. The remaining group was 13 days (p <0.001) while the remaining group was 2 days (p <0.001). One patient in the left group stayed in hospital for 107 days. Result: Timing of the surgery for PMIVSD patients is still difficult. Other strategies such as the implantation of the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or percutaneous devices and waiting for a while before surgery will be a better approach for PMIVSD patients.
