Published in: Clinical case reports (2023)

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare complication of myocardial infarction that requires surgical repair. Herein, we describe a case of intraoperative VSR requiring patch repair and postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. This case highlights the risk factors, patient presentation, and management recommendations for this potentially lethal pathology.
