Impact of mechanical support with the impella for ventricular septal rupture
Our findings demonstrated favorable early outcomes with a 30-day mortality of 8%. Impella support facilitated preoperative optimization of the systemic condition and enabled a safe transition to definitive surgical repair. Further investigations are warranted to refine the optimal timing of surgery and to assess long-term outcomes in this challenging population of patients with ventricular septal rupture.
