Acute rupture of the interventricular septum is a relatively unusual complication following acute myocardial infarction. The echocardiographic features depicted by transthoracic echocardiography are well described. However, transesophageal echocardiographic description of a ruptured septum has not been previously reported. This brief report illustrates the transesophageal features of such a defect.
室间隔急性破裂是急性心肌梗死后一种相对少见的并发症。经胸超声心动图所显示的超声心动图特征已有详尽描述。然而，此前尚无经食管超声心动图对破裂间隔的描述报道。本简短报告阐述了此类缺损的经食管超声心动图特征。
