  ABSTRACT: Background: Acute Ventricular septal rupture is one of dreadful complications of acute evolving myocardial infarction. Despite urgent management is lifesaving, it is still challenging and has a high risk of mortality particularly if recurrent or residual defects occurred. Evolving of skillfulness in transcatheter intervention of heart diseases paved the way for successful hybrid management of challenging cardiac cases specially for residual complicated cases post cardiac surgery. Case Presentation: We described here a successful hybrid two stage technique (surgical then transcatheter approach) to close two consecutive acute ventricular septal ruptures in 75 years old female presented with cardiogenic shock post evolving myocardial infarction. Conclusion: Hybrid repair by surgical and transcatheter interventions may be a good therapeutic modality for acute septal ruptures specially for residual or new defects after initial closure.
