Abstract
IVSH is a rare complication after cardiac procedures.
It results from myocardial infarction, coronary intervention, and/or direct trauma.
It is associated with morbidity, mortality, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.
Echocardiography aids in diagnosis and follow-up of IVSH.
Spontaneous fistula between the septal hematoma and RV led to decompression and recovery.
