ABSTRACT

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) as mechanical complication of ischemic heart disease is considered a surgical emergency. A 72-year-old male patient presented an acute infarction, ruptured interventricular septum was diagnosed. ECMO was placed as bridge to surgery. It was carried out 14 days post-rupture, myocardial revascularization and VSR closure was performed, ECMO was withdrawn 2 days after surgery. ECMO is an option in unstable patients with VSR as a bridge to corrective surgery.
