LID - 10.1136/bcr-2021-242303 [doi] LID - e242303 AB - Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a rare form of acute myocardial infarction and it is an even rarer cause of ventricular septal defect (VSD). We present a case of successful endovascular closure of post-MINOCA VSD with the use of an atrial septal defect (ASD) occluder. The patient improved from intra-aortic balloon pump dependent to New York Heart Association (NYHA) I in a matter of days. 18-month follow-up period is event free and symptom free.
