Myocardial Rupture Secondary to Ventricular Septal Hematoma: A Case Report and Review of Contemporary Literature

Interventricular septal hematoma following congenital cardiac surgery is an uncommon entity. Literature search reveals few cases of interventricular septal hematoma complicating pediatric cardiac surgery. We report a case of interventricular septal hematoma following patch closure of ventricular septal defect, with associated myocardial necrosis and myocardial rupture.
