Abstract

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after myocardial infarction (MI) is a rare but life-threatening complication. Although surgery is the gold standard treatment, best surgical timing is still a matter of debate. Studies are showing a tendency towards survival improvement with delayed intervention on the assumption that scarring of the infarcted tissue may facilitate patch suturing and avoid relapse of the defect. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) may be useful, not only for hemodynamic stabilisation and optimization before surgery, but also as a bridge to decide best surgical timing. Allowing myocardial recovery into a resistant scar, recurrence of VSR may be reduced and promotes a longer-lasting surgical repair. The aim of this case report is to share the outcomes and management of two MI-associated VSR patients submitted to delayed surgery after VA-ECMO stabilisation. Although VSR repair failed, VA-ECMO allowed the patient's stabilisation, time for decision and became a bridge for successful heart transplant.

急性心肌梗死后室间隔破裂- Va-Ecmo能给我们额外的时间吗?
心梗(MI)后室间隔破裂(VSR)是一种罕见但危及生命的并发症。虽然手术是金标准治疗,但最佳手术时机仍有争议。研究显示延迟干预有改善生存的趋势,假设梗死组织的瘢痕形成可能促进补片缝合并避免缺陷复发。机械循环支持(MCS)可能是有用的,不仅在手术前血液动力学稳定和优化,而且作为决定最佳手术时机的桥梁。允许心肌恢复为抵抗性疤痕,可以减少VSR的复发并促进更持久的手术修复。本病例报告的目的是分享两例mi相关VSR患者在VA-ECMO稳定后延迟手术的结果和处理。虽然VSR修复失败,但VA-ECMO允许患者稳定,有时间做决定,并成为成功的心脏移植的桥梁。
