Abstract A 83‐year‐old woman underwent percutaneous closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defect following anteroseptal myocardial infarction and percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Postinfarction percutaneous ventricular septal defect closure was initially complicated by an iatrogenic left ventricular free‐wall perforation. Both defects were closed using two Amplatzer muscular VSD occluders during the same session. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
