Ventricular septal perforation followed by papillary muscle rupture with acute myocardial infarction: efficacy of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
The occurrence of multiple mechanical complications after myocardial infarction in the same patient may be extremely rare, and the surgical strategy may be very complex because each mechanical complication can be extremely fatal. The case of a patient who underwent repair of a ventricular septal per...

Sumario: | The occurrence of multiple mechanical complications after myocardial infarction in the same patient may be extremely rare, and the surgical strategy may be very complex because each mechanical complication can be extremely fatal. The case of a patient who underwent repair of a ventricular septal perforation by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), then mitral valve replacement and VA-ECMO for papillary muscle rupture 2 weeks after the ventricular septal perforation repair, is reported. Immediate preoperative stabilization with VA-ECMO may play a crucial role in treating multiple mechanical complications after myocardial infarction. |
