AB  - Acute  myocardial  infarction  can  require  surgical  intervention  for  many  reasons.  Most  commonly,  patients  may  have  coronary  artery  stenosis  that  may  be  amenable  to  coronary  artery  bypass  grafting,  either  to  halt  the  progress  of  the  acute  infarction,  or  to  prevent  subsequent  angina,  reinfarction,  or  death  (see  Chapters  20  to  25).  Myocardial  infarction  can  also  result  in  refractory  congestive  heart  failure  and/or  circulatory  shock  due  to  inability  of  the  left  and/or  right  ventricles  to  maintain  the  cardiovascular  circulation.  These  patients  may  benefit  from  ventricular  replacement  therapy  that  include  cardiac  transplantation  (see  Chapter  61),  extracorporeal  membrane  oxygenation  (see  Chapter  19)  or  placement  of  left  and/or  right  ventricular  assist  devices  (see  Chapter  63).  Acute  myocardial  infarction  can  have  a  number  of  other  mechanical  consequences  that  may  need  to  be  addressed  surgically.  These  can  include  acute  and  chronic  ischemic  mitral  regurgitation  and  even  papillary  muscle  rupture  (see  Chapter  38)  and  functional  tricuspid  regurgitation  (see  Chapter  44).  Three  final  and  potentially  catastrophic  mechanical  complications  of  acute  myocardial  infarction  are  addressed  in  this  chapter  and  include  postinfarction  ventricular  septal  defect,  cardiac  rupture,  and  left  ventricular  aneurysm.
