A case report of a triple patch reconstruction of a post-infarction ventricular septal rupture: microaxial flow pump support as a bridge to surgery
This case highlights the effectiveness of early hemodynamic support with percutaneous mAFP in stabilizing patients with acute ventricular septal rupture, facilitating delayed surgical intervention, allowing time for infarct tissue to scar. The combined use of advanced surgical techniques and mechanical support may represent a key strategy in the management of this complex condition.
