Abstract:Background: An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the device most frequently used as a bridge to surgical repair in cases of myocardial infarction. However, robust evidence of IABP support for patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) remains lacking. This study was aimed at assessing the effect of IABP support on 30-day prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by VSR.
Methods: Retrospective data for patients with VSR after AMI at Fuwai Hospital between Apr… Show more
