Rare case of ruptured muscular ventricular septal aneurysm due to silent myocardial ischemia in adult.

ABSTRACT: Interventricular septal aneurysm of muscular type is uncommon in adult, to say nothing of membranous type. Acute or subacute left-to-right shunt (LR shunt) in a ventricular septum is mostly critical and usually shows severe symptoms. Therefore, ruptured muscular ventricular septal aneurysm (VSA) with LR shunt of unknown onset in adult is highly rare. A 70-year-old man was suffered from mild dyspnea and chest oppression. A muscular VSA was detected at the center of the ventricular septum and LR shunt of unknown onset in it had induced congestive heart failure. The sandwich patch technique through a right ventricular approach was simultaneously performed with coronary artery bypass grafting and the postoperative course was uneventful. In addition, concomitant myocardial biopsy of VSA wall du
