Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a rare but serious complication often causing cardiogenic shock (CS). The timing of surgery is a difficult problem for surgeons because of high mortality and surgical complexity. We present a case of successful use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for maintaining haemodynamic stability preoperative and delaying surgical repair of VSR patient in severe CS. CASE REPORT A 57-year-old man with AMI complicated by severe CS due to an massive VSR. Emergency surgery was considered a too high mortality risk. The patient was implanted with a percutaneous veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) system as a bridge to surgery for stabilizing general condition. On the 31th day after ECMO implantation, the ventricular septal defect was successfully repaired and weaning from the ECMO. DISCUSSION This case study illustrates that it may be considered to use long term ECMO preoperative to delayed surgery which leads to higher survival in cases of massive VSR patient after AMI in hemodynamically compromised patients. Still the optimal duration of mechanical circulatory support and the optimal timing for surgery need more research to define. CONCLUSION This case indicates the feasibility of preoperative using of a long term VA-ECMO as a bridge to surgical repair of VSR patient after AMI in severe CS. The optimal duration of mechanical circulatory support and the optimal timing for surgery still require further investigation.

Impella - Current issues and future expectations for the percutaneous, microaxial flow left ventricular assist device. J Cardiol 2024; 83:228-235.

Abstract
The importance of temporary mechanical circulatory support for treating acute heart failure with cardiogenic shock is increasingly recognized, and Impella (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA) has received particular attention in this regard. Impella is an axial flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) built into the tip of a catheter. It is inserted via a peripheral artery and implanted into the left ventricle. Although the morphology of Impella is different from a typical LVAD, it has similar actions and effects as an LVAD in terms of left ventricular drainage and aortic blood delivery. Impella increases mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systemic blood flow, thereby improving peripheral organ perfusion and promoting recovery from multiple organ failure. In addition, left ventricular unloading with increased MAP increases coronary perfusion and decreases myocardial oxygen demand, thereby promoting myocardial recovery. Impella is also useful as a mechanical vent of the left ventricle in patients supported with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Indications for Impella include emergency use for cardiogenic shock and non-emergent use during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention and ventricular tachycardia ablation. Its intended uses for cardiogenic shock include bridge to recovery, durable device, heart transplantation, and heart surgery. Prophylactic use of Impella in high-risk patients undergoing open heart surgery to prevent postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock is also gaining attention. While there have been many case reports and retrospective studies on the benefits of Impella, there is little evidence based on sufficiently large randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Currently, several RCTs are now ongoing, which are critical to determine when, for whom, and how these devices should be used. In this review, we summarize the principles, physiology, indications, and complications of the Impella support and discuss current issues and future expectations for the device.

Ann Card Anaesth 2024; 27:17-23. [PMID: 38722116 PMCID: PMC10876131 DOI: 10.4103/aca.aca_75_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but grave complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is a mechanical complication of myocardial infarction where patients may present either in a compensated state or in cardiogenic shock. The aim of the study is to determine the in-hospital mortality. The study also aims to identify the predictors of outcomes (in-hospital mortality, vasoactive inotrope score (VIS), duration of ICU stay and mechanical ventilation in the postoperative period) and compare the clinical and surgical parameters between survivors and non-survivors. METHODS This is a retrospective study. The data of 90 patients was collected from the medical records and the data comprising of 13 patients who underwent VSR closure by single patch technique, or septal occluder, and those who expired before receiving the treatment, was excluded. The data of 77 patients diagnosed with post-AMI VSR and who underwent surgical closure of VSR by double patch technique was included in this study. Clinical findings and echocardiography parameters were recorded from the perioperative period. The statistical software used was SPSS version 27. The primary outcome was determining the in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcome was identifying the clinical parameters that are significantly more in the non-survivors, and the factors predicting the in-hopsital mortality and morbidity (increased duration of ICU stay, and of mechanical ventilation, postoperative requirement of high doses of vasopressors and inotropes). Subgroup analysis was done to identify the relation of various clinical parameters with the postoperative complications. The factors predicting the in-hospital mortality were illustrated by a forest plot. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 60.35 (±9.9) years, 56 (72.7%) were males, and 21 (27.3%) were females. Requirement of mechanical ventilation preoperatively (OR 3.92 [CI 2.91-6.96]), cardiogenic shock at presentation (OR 4 [CI 2.33 - 6.85]), requirement of IABP (OR 2.05 [CI 1.38-3.94]), were predictors of mortality. The apical location of VSR had been favorable for survival. The EUROScore II at presentation correlated with the postoperative VIS (level of significance [LS] 0.0011, R 0.36. The in-hospital mortality in this study was 33.76%. CONCLUSION The in-hospital mortality of VSR is 33.76%. Cardiogenic shock at presentation, non-apical site of VSR, preoperative requirement of mechanical ventilation, high VIS preoperatively, perioperative utilization of IABP, prolonged CPB time, postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation, and high postoperative VIS were the factors associated with increased odds of in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
Objectives Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) is one of the known complications after acute myocardial infarction. This study investigated the clinical results after surgical repair of VSD. Methods This retrospective study included all patients undergoing surgical repair of VSD from 1996 to 2020 in Oman. Results Out of a total of 75 patients, 62.5% were men, with a mean age of 59 years. The mean follow-up was 17.2 (7.5) years. Of the 75 patients, 34 (45.3%) patients died within 30 days. Total survival was 41.3% at 5 years, while the 10-year survival rate was 33.3%. Outcomes and predictors for 30 days mortality were the number of concomitant coronary involvement and anastomoses performed, residual postoperative shunt and postoperative dialysis. Conclusion Even with surgical repair, early mortality of post-infarction septal defect is still considerably high. Early repair and the anatomically posterior rupture are predictors of early mortality. In patients surviving the immediate postoperative period, long-term survival is limited by pre-existing coronary artery disease, postoperative renal failure and the presence of a residual postoperative shunt.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after myocardial infarction (MI) and the preoperative use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a bridge to surgery. METHODS We included patients undergoing surgery for VSR from January 2009 until June 2021 from two centers in Germany. Patients were separated into two groups, those with and without ECLS, before surgery. Pre- and intraoperative data, outcome, and survival during follow-up were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 47 consecutive patients were included. Twenty-five patients were in the ECLS group, and 22 were in the group without ECLS. All the ECLS-group patients were in cardiogenic shock preoperatively. Most patients in the ECLS group were transferred from another hospital [n = 21 (84%) vs. no-ECLS (n = 12 (57.1%), p = 0.05]. We observed a higher number of postoperative bleeding complications favoring the group without ECLS [n = 6 (28.6%) vs. n = 16 (64%), p < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the persistence of residual ventricular septal defect (VSD) between groups [ECLS n = 4 (16.7%) and no-ECLS n = 3 (13.6%)], p = 1.0. Total in-hospital mortality was 38.3%. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality [n = 6 (27.3%) vs. n = 12 (48%), p = 0.11] and survival at last follow-up between the groups (p = 0.50). CONCLUSION We detected no statistical difference in the in-hospital and long-term mortality in patients who received ECLS as supportive therapy after MI-induced VSR compared to those without ECLS. ECLS could be an effective procedure applied as a bridge to surgery in patients with VSR and cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE We performed a collective analysis of a dedicated national post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) registry to further elucidate controversial areas of this clinical entity's surgical treatment. METHODS A descriptive statistical analysis was carried out and cumulative survival using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate logistic regression of risk factors for 30-day mortality are presented. RESULTS Median survival of the cohort (n=76) was 72 months (95% CI 4-144 months). Better cumulative survival was observed in patients who underwent VSD closure more than 10 days after myocardial infarction (log-rank p=0.036). Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), different closure techniques, location of the VSD, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as bridge to closure, or intra-aortic balloon pump as bridge to closure showed no statistically significant differences at Kaplan-Meier analysis. Multivariate binary logistic regression for independent factors affecting status at 30 days showed a statistically significant effect of age (OR 1.08; 95% CI 1.01-1.15) and concomitant CABG (OR 0.23; 95% CI 0.06-0.90). CONCLUSIONS Our results are comparable with previous reports regarding mortality, risk factors and concomitant procedures. Timing of surgery remains a controversial issue. Later closure seems to be advantageous, however, there is significant observational bias.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) carries a very poor prognosis. Surgical repair offers reasonable outcomes in patients who survive the initial healing period. Percutaneous device implantation remains a potentially effective earlier alternative. METHODS AND RESULTS From March 2018 to May 2022, 11 trans-arterial PIVSD closures were attempted in 9 patients from two centers (aged 67.2 ± 11.1 years; 77.8% male). Two patients had a second procedure. Myocardial infarction was anterior in four patients (44.5%) and inferior in five cases (55.5%). Devices were successfully implanted in all patients. There were no major immediate procedural complications. Immediate shunt grade postprocedure was significant (11.1%), minimal (77.8%), or none (11.1%). Median length of stay after the procedure was 14.8 days. Five patients (55%) survived to discharge and were followed up for a median of 605 days, during which time no additional patients died. CONCLUSION Single arterial access for percutaneous closure of PIVSD is a good option for these extremely high-risk patients, in the era of effective large-bore arterial access closure. Mortality remains high, but patients who survive to discharge do well in the longer term.

Abstract
Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR) is becoming increasingly rare in the percutaneous coronary intervention era; however, the mortality rates remain high. Surgical repair is the gold standard treatment for PIVSR but is associated with surgical difficulty and high mortality. Therefore, the timing of surgery is controversial (i.e. either undertake emergency surgery or wait for resolution of organ failure and scarring of the infarcted area). Although long-term medical management is usually ineffective, several mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices have been used to postpone surgery to an optimal timing. Recently, in addition to venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), new MCS devices, such as Impella (Abiomed Inc., Boston, MA, USA), have been developed. Impella is a pump catheter that pumps blood directly from the left ventricle, in a progressive fashion, into the ascending aorta. VA-ECMO is a temporary MCS system that provides complete and rapid cardiopulmonary support, with concurrent hemodynamic support and gas exchange. When left and right heart failure and/or respiratory failure occur in cardiogenic shock or PIVSR after acute myocardial infarction, ECpella (Impella and VA-ECMO) is often introduced, as it can provide circulatory and respiratory assistance in a shorter period. This review outlines the basic concepts of MCS in PIVSR treatment strategies and its role as a bridge device, and discusses the efficacy and complications of ECpella therapy and the timing of surgery.

Effects of concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting on early and late mortality in the treatment of post-infarction mechanical complications: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ann Cardiothorac Surg 2022; 11:210-225.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction represent life-threatening events, including ventricular septal rupture (VSR), left ventricular free-wall rupture (LVFWR) and papillary muscle rupture (PMR). In-hospital mortality is high, even when prompt surgery can be offered. The role of concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the surgical treatment of these conditions is still debated. METHODS A systematic review of the literature, from 2000 onwards, about these complications was performed, analyzing data of subjects receiving versus not-receiving concomitant CABG. Primary outcome was early mortality. Secondary outcome was late mortality for hospital survivors. Subgroup analysis for VSR, LVFWR and PMR was also performed. RESULTS Thirty-six studies were identified, including 4,321 patients (mostly VSR-related). Preoperative coronarography was performed in 92.2% of the cases, showing single-vessel disease in 54.3% of patients. Concomitant CABG rate was 49.0%. Early mortality was 32.6% and late mortality was 40.0% with 5.2 years of mean follow-up. The analysis showed no difference in early (OR 0.96; P=0.60) or late mortality (RR 0.91; P=0.49) between CABG and non-CABG group. In subgroup analysis, concomitant CABG was associated with significantly lower mortality at long term for PMR (RR 0.42; P=0.001), although it showed a higher, but not significant, mortality in VSR (RR 1.24; P=0.20). CONCLUSIONS Concomitant CABG in the treatment for post-infarction mechanical complications showed no significant impact on both early and late mortality, although deserving some distinctions among different types of complication and single versus multiple vessel disease. However, larger, dedicated studies are required to provide more consistent data and evidence.

[PMID: 35182446 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
The mortality rate after the development of postinfarction ventricular septal defect remains high despite progress in pharmacologic therapy, invasive cardiology, and surgical techniques. We present a case series of six patients with preoperative venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to reparative surgical repair. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation allows to hemodynamically stabilize the patient, and safely delay the surgery. Delayed surgery might facilitate successful repair by allowing friable tissue to organize, strengthen, and become well-differentiated from surrounding healthy tissue; thus, definite repair can be performed safely. All patients were in cardiogenic shock and would otherwise require emergent cardiac surgery with associated risk. Three patients were discharged, with one hospital mortality of a patient who had a successful bridge to corrective surgery and died due to pulmonary artery rupture after a right ventricular assist device implantation. Two patients died before surgery while they were supported by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to vascular complications. We discuss strategies how to optimize the management and function of the venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to decrease the rate of adverse effects and optimize the outcomes of these patients.

Abstract
We present a patient with post-infarction posterior ventricular septal defect complicated by cardiogenic shock who was transferred after percutaneous coronary revascularization. A peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator was placed as a bridge to definite treatment to stabilize his condition. Patch closure of the ventricular septal defect and tricuspid valve replacement were performed successfully with right atrial approach 3 days after the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) placement and 11 days after the myocardial infarction. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenator was successfully weaned off intraoperatively and the patient was discharged without complications.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but life-threatening mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction associated with high mortality despite prompt treatment. Surgery represents the standard of care; however, only small single-center series or national registries are usually available in literature, whereas international multicenter investigations have been poorly carried out, therefore limiting the evidence on this topic. OBJECTIVES To assess the clinical characteristics and early outcomes for patients who received surgery for postinfarction VSR and to identify factors independently associated with mortality. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The Mechanical Complications of Acute Myocardial Infarction: an International Multicenter Cohort (CAUTION) Study is a retrospective multicenter international cohort study that includes patients who were treated surgically for mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction. The study was conducted from January 2001 to December 2019 at 26 different centers worldwide among 475 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for postinfarction VSR. EXPOSURES Surgical treatment of postinfarction VSR, independent of the technique, alone or combined with other procedures (eg, coronary artery bypass grafting). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was early mortality; secondary outcomes were postoperative complications. RESULTS Of the 475 patients included in the study, 290 (61.1%) were men, with a mean (SD) age of 68.5 (10.1) years. Cardiogenic shock was present in 213 patients (44.8%). Emergent or salvage surgery was performed in 212 cases (44.6%). The early mortality rate was 40.4% (192 patients), and it did not improve during the nearly 20 years considered for the study (median [IQR] yearly mortality, 41.7% [32.6%-50.0%]). Low cardiac output syndrome and multiorgan failure were the most common causes of death (low cardiac output syndrome, 70 [36.5%]; multiorgan failure, 53 [27.6%]). Recurrent VSR occurred in 59 participants (12.4%) but was not associated with mortality. Cardiogenic shock (survived: 95 [33.6%]; died, 118 [61.5%]; P < .001) and early surgery (time to surgery ≥7 days, survived: 105 [57.4%]; died, 47 [35.1%]; P < .001) were associated with lower survival. At multivariate analysis, older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.08; P = .001), preoperative cardiac arrest (OR, 2.71; 95% CI, 1.18-6.27; P = .02) and percutaneous revascularization (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.003-2.65; P = .048), and postoperative need for intra-aortic balloon pump (OR, 2.98; 95% CI, 1.46-6.09; P = .003) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (OR, 3.19; 95% CI, 1.30-7.38; P = .01) were independently associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, surgical repair of postinfarction VSR was associated with a high risk of early mortality; this risk has remained unchanged during the last 2 decades. Delayed surgery seemed associated with better survival. Age, preoperative cardiac arrest and percutaneous revascularization, and postoperative need for intra-aortic balloon pump and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were independently associated with early mortality. Further prospective studies addressing preoperative and perioperative patient management are warranted to hopefully improve the currently suboptimal outcome.

Abstract
Background and objective The effectiveness of deferred surgical repair of ventricular septal rupture (VSR) post-myocardial infarction (MI) with cardiogenic shock remains limited to case reports. Our study aimed to investigate the outcomes and survival analysis following mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients after VSR who develop cardiogenic shock. Methods We analyzed 27 patients with post-MI VSR and cardiogenic shock who received deferred surgical repair while stabilized on MCS between January 2018 and March 2020. After normality test adjustments, continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). These were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and Student’s t-test. Categorical variables were compared using chi-square or Fisher’s exact test. To identify predictors of operative mortality, univariate analysis of clinical characteristics and interventions followed by logistic regression was carried out. P-value of < 0.05 was considered significant. Results All patients had preoperative MCS. Emergency repair was avoided in all the patients. The mean age of the participants was 64.96 with the majority being males (74.1%). On average, the mean time from MI to VSR repair was 18.85 days. Delayed revascularization was associated with increased mortality (OR 17.500, 95% CI 2.365–129.506, P = 0.005). Other factors associated with increased mortality were ejection fraction (EF), three-vessel disease, Killip class, early surgery, and prolonged use of inotropes. The operative mortality was 11% with an overall mortality of 33.3%. The one-year survival rate was 66.7%. Conclusion The use of MCS in adjunct to a deferred surgical approach shows an improved survival outcome of patients with VSR complicated by cardiogenic shock. Further investigations are required regarding the optimal time for MCS and surgical repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiogenic shock represents a very challenging patient population due to the undifferentiated pathologies presenting as cardiogenic shock, difficult decision-making, prognostication, and ever-expanding support options. The role of cardiac surgeons on this team is evolving. RECENT FINDINGS The implementation of a shock team is associated with improved outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock. Early deployment of mechanical circulatory support devices may allow an opportunity to rescue these patients. Cardiothoracic surgeons are a critical component of the shock team who can deploy timely mechanical support and surgical intervention in selected patients for optimal outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is defined as end-organ hypoperfusion as the consequence of primary myocardial dysfunction. Among the diagnostic criteria are a systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg, acute renal failure (oligoanuria), ischemic hepatitis, cyanosis and cold, clammy skin. Accepted hemodynamic cutoffs are a cardiac index < 2,2 (l/min)/m2 and a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure > 15 mmHg. It should be acknowledged, that a normal blood pressure does not rule out CS; there is a nonhypotensive variant of CS demonstrating all the signs mentioned above (including elevated lactate levels) while the blood pressure is compensated due to vasoconstriction.The single most frequent cause of CS is pump failure in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction and its mortality rate has been lowered to 40-50%, owing to the widespread availability of primary PCI. Regarding PCI, it has been demonstrated recently that a "culprit-lesion only strategy" should be followed in the setting of CS. Other important causes of CS to take into account are mechanical complications of myocardial infarction (papillary and ventricular septal rupture as well as rupture of the myocardial free wall leading to tamponade), valvular heart disease (mostly decompensated aortic stenosis) as well as myocarditis and end stage cardiomyopathy.The diagnosis of CS is made by patient history, physical examination, ECG, echocardiography and coronary angiography. Echocardiography should always be performed before coronary angiography because, in the case of mechanical complications, it significantly alters the management of the patients. Patients with clinical signs of CS but paradoxically preserved ejection fraction must be thoroughly evaluated for the presence of a papillary muscle rupture, particularly in the setting of a lateral wall infarction.Noradrenaline and dobutamine are the first-line agents for medical stabilization. When such conventional measures fail, extracorporeal support devices such as ECMO or Impella© may be used. Currently, trials are underway to assess wheter these devices confer a survival benefit in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon complication of myocardial infarction (MI). The mortality rate of VSR is high. The management of VSR is including the stabilization of the hemodynamic status and surgical closure of the rupture. In spite of the agreement of experts on the necessity of surgical repair, the timing of VSR repair management remains unclear. In this review article, we evaluate the optimal time repair of VSR. To collect the data, Pubmed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Registry databases were searched for potentially suitable studies. Search terms were including “Ventricular Septal Rupture”, “Myocardial Infarction”, “Timing”, and “MI”. According to the result of the studies, it seems that the time between VSR detection and its repair is a determining factor in the survival or mortality of patients in post-myocardial infraction VSR. Studies showed that earlier surgical repair in VSR increases the risk of mortality, because in the early phase after MI, infarcted myocardium is very fragile, and it is very difficult surgical repair and increases the risk of recurrent septal defects. The longer time is needed for the heart and different body systems to adapt to the hemodynamic results of the abrupt left to right shunt. It seems that the best time for the operation is after the maturation of VSR with scarring at the edges of the defect. Moreover, in a large number of patients, it is not possible to delay the operation since they are at risk of severe heart failure and organ dysfunction. In these cases operation immediately after diagnosis of VSR is recommended to prevent further hemodynamic deterioration. In hemodynamically compromised patients, it may be considered to use a ventricular assist device, requiring an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) preoperative to postpone the operation which leads to higher survival in post-MI-VSD.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
The effectiveness of delayed surgery for ventricular septal rupture (VSR) following myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with cardiogenic shock remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the outcomes of delayed surgery following mechanical circulatory support for patients in cardiogenic shock after VSR.
METHODS
We reviewed 8 patients with post-MI VSR and cardiogenic shock who underwent delayed surgery at our institution between July 2015 and November 2017. Surgery was delayed until haemodynamic stabilization and improved organ ischaemia were achieved by initiating intra-aortic balloon pumping with or without veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We investigated the operative mortality, morbidity and late survival.
RESULTS
All 8 patients had preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump support, and 5 had additional veno-arterial ECMO support. Emergency repair was successfully avoided in all cases. The median time from the onset of MI to operation was 7.1 (3.7–9.9) days, and that from the diagnosis of VSR to operation was 1.9 (1.3–2.3) days. The operative mortality was 12.5%, and complications related to mechanical circulatory support occurred in 1 case (12.5%). The 2-year survival rate was 62.5%.
CONCLUSIONS
A combination of preoperative mechanical circulatory support and delayed surgery may improve the outcomes of patients with post-MI VSR, which was complicated by cardiogenic shock. The key to a better surgical outcome may be delaying the surgery for improving end-organ perfusion. This requires further investigation, especially for determining the optimal duration of support.

Abstract
Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (pVSD) due to acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with high mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of primary surgical repair of pVSD in patients with CS and examine whether it is influenced by the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices. Between October 1994 and April 2016, primary surgical repair of pVSD complicated by CS was performed in 53 patients. Thirty-six (68%) were implanted pre-operatively with an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), 4 (8%) with extracorporeal life support (ECLS), and 13 (24%) received no MCS device. Prospectively collected demographic and perioperative data were analyzed retrospectively. All-cause, 30-day mortality rates were analyzed and multivariate analysis was performed to differentiate independent risk factors. No pre-operatively implanted MCS device was able to improve 30-day survival, whereas pre-operatively implanted ECLS tended to have a positive effect (P = .106). The post-operative need for a MCS device or escalation of MCS invasiveness (IABP upgrade to ECLS) was associated with a higher 30-day mortality (P = .001) compared with patients without any MCS device or those with pre-operatively implanted MCS devices. An independent risk factor for 30-day mortality was the interval between acute myocardial infarction and surgery <7 days (OR 5.895, CI 1.615-21.515; P = .007). Pre-operative implantation of ECLS for CS tends to improve the outcome of early primary surgical pVSD repair. The need for a post-operative MCS device is associated with a worse 30-day survival after early primary surgical pVSD repair.

Abstract
Background Post myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture (PMI-VSR) is a dreaded mechanical complication of acute coronary syndromes. Given that surgical mortality approaches 50%, it is pragmatic that the risk factors for mortality and outcomes after surgical correction of PMI- VSR are carefully scrutinized. Methods We performed a single-center, retrospective cohort study of 35 patients presenting for surgical closure of post myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture over six years. We reviewed patient characteristics, clinical, echocardiographic, angiographic and perioperative risk factors which may affect mortality after surgical repair of PMIVSR and 30 day and one year mortality rates of these patients. Univariate and multivariate logistic and cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to identify predictors of operative and overall mortality. Long term survival was presented with Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve. Results Sixteen patients (46%) were in cardiogenic shock. Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was done in 22 patients (63%) but did not influence survival. Preoperative thrombolysis was done in 12 patients (34%) out of which 10 (53%) survived Operative mortality was 46% and one-year mortality was 49%. Multivariate analysis identified preoperative thrombolysis: Hazards ratio, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.02-0.61; p value of 0.01, as significant independent predictor of survival in PMIVSR cohort. Conclusions Preoperative thrombolysis is associated with decreased odds of operative and overall mortality after surgical repair in PMIVSR patients.

Abstract
The mortality rate after the development of ventricular septal defect (VSD) remains high despite progress in pharmaceutical therapy, invasive cardiology, and surgical techniques. Although early surgical repair of postinfarction VSD is associated with a high mortality rate, in hemodynamic unstable patients surgery cannot always be postponed and surgical repair may be required urgently. We present two cases of patients diagnosed with postinfarction VSD who were in cardiogenic shock with multiorgan failure despite optimal treatment. They were therefore connected to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to reparative surgery.

Abstract
Introduction Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare but life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). There is a paucity of data regarding the natural history of this devastating complication of myocardial infarction in the Middle East region with restricted financial resources and unsolved major health problems. Aim To evaluate the clinical presentation and in-hospital outcome of patients with post-infarction VSD over a 10-year period in a tertiary center in northwest Iran. Material and methods Data from 64 consecutive patients with VSD complicating AMI were retrospectively analyzed from March 2005 to May 2015. Results The mean age of the patients was 71.62 ±9.38 years with 57.8% of them being female. The VSDs were anterior in 52 (82%) patients. More than half of patients were in cardiogenic shock during the initial presentation. Multivessel coronary artery disease was found on coronary angiography in 70.3% of patients. In-hospital mortality was 82.8%. Multivariate analysis revealed cardiogenic shock (HR = 12.5, p = 0.001) as the only independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and surgical treatment as the only predictor of in-hospital survival (HR = 0.2, p = 0.02). Conclusions Our study demonstrated that VSD complicating myocardial infarction had an extremely high in-hospital mortality rate. Cardiogenic shock was the only independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and surgical treatment was the only predictor of in-hospital survival.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is one of the fatal complications of myocardial infarction (MI). Surgery provides the maximum survival benefit. Our objective was to investigate the risk factors of surgical mortality and to do the survival analysis in the past six years at our hospital. Methods: All the patients operated at CPE Institute of Cardiology Multan Pakistan, between 2009 and 2015 for repair of post MI VSR were analysed retrospectively for demographics, comorbidities, operative and post operative outcomes. The primary outcome was 30 days mortality. The follow up was done till April 2017 and the follow up data was obtained from hospital records and by telephoning the patients. SPSS was used for statistical analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 31 patients were operated for VSR repair with a mean age of 57.19±7.73 years. Eighteen patients also had a concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The operative mortality in this series was 25.8% Univariate analysis showed that pre-operative ejection fraction (E.F) (p value 0.010) and cardiogenic shock (p value 0.031) were a significant risk factors for operative mortality while on logistic regression analysis only the cardiogenic shock was found to be an independent risk factor for operative mortality with the odds ratio of 2.17. Low ejection fraction only acted as a confounding variable. The mean survival at six years was 34 months with a survival rate of 28.6%. The additional CABG did not confer any survival benefit. Conclusion: The patients in cardiogenic shock pre-operatively have a high operative mortality. Low ejection fraction (E.F) acts as a confounding factor. Concomitant CABG does not confer any survival benefit.

Abstract
AIM Postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare complication that can lead to rapid hemodynamic patient decompensation. The type of VSD repair relies on several factors including: size, location, timing and surgical expertise. CASE A 63-year-old man with a ST-elevation myocardial infarction underwent percutaneous coronary intervention of the right coronary artery. A holosystolic murmur was notable postcatheterization, and transthoracic echocardiogram confirmed a VSD. To characterize the VSD, a cardiac MRI demonstrated a large, serpiginous VSD and longitudinal septal tear. Given the anatomic complexity and stable hemodynamics, a surgical trans-left ventricular patch repair was performed. CONCLUSION We emphasize the importance of cardiac magnetic resonance as a decision-making tool, utilizing imaging to ascertain the anatomy combined with hemodynamics to determine optimal individualized therapy.

Abstract
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare complication of right ventricular infarction (RVI) which is associated with significant mortality, if not treated appropriately. It typically occurs within the first 10-14 days after myocardial infarction. Surgical repair has been shown to reduce in-hospital mortality from 90% to 33-45%. Early surgical VSD repair has also been associated with high 30-day operative mortality of 34-37%. Furthermore, after an acute MI the friable myocardium enhances the risk of recurrent VSD with early surgical repair. We present a case of a middle-aged woman who developed VSD after an RVI. Her surgical repair was delayed by 2 weeks due to development of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. During this period, she was managed medically and later on underwent percutaneous repair with an amplatzer VSD occluder device. Keeping this patient encounter in mind, we would like to emphasize on the limited recommendations available for early against late surgical repair of VSD.

Abstract
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a disastrous mechanical complication of myocardial infarction. Although several surgical interventions have been developed, mortality due to surgical management remains high, especially in the case of posterior VSR. We report a successful case of repair of posterior VSR using an alternative transatrial approach to avoid the complications related to ventricular incision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon but well-recognized mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The outcome of VSR remains poor even in the era of reperfusion therapy. We reviewed our experience with surgical repair of post-infarction VSR and analyzed outcomes in an attempt to identify prognostic factors. METHODS From October 1995 to December 2013, data from 47 consecutive patients (mean age, 68 ± 9.5 years) with post-infarction VSR who underwent surgical repair at our institute were retrospectively reviewed. The preoperative conditions, morbidity and surgical mortality were analyzed. Multivariate analysis was subsequently carried out by constructing a logistic regression model in order to identify independent predictors of postoperative mortality. Long term survival function were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 17 (36.2%) patients, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was used in 34 (72.3%), and six (12.8%) were supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) preoperatively. Forty-one (87.2%) patients received emergent surgical treatment. Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting was performed in 27 (57.4%) patients. Operative mortality was 36.2% (17 of 47). The survival rate was 59.3% with concomitant CABG and 70% without concomitant CABG (p = 14). Multivariate analysis revealed that the survivors had higher preoperative left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEFs) compared with those who died (51 ± 13.7% vs. 36.6 ± 6.4% , respectively; p < 0.001) and lower European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation II (EuroSCORE II) (22.9 ± 14.9 vs. 38.3 ± 13.9, respectively; p < 0.001). The patients receiving total revascularization has long term survival benefit (p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS Post-infarction VSR remains a serious and challenging complication of AMI in the modern surgical era. The EuroSCORE II can be used for an approximate prediction of operative mortality. Preserved LVEF was associated with better prognosis, while the need for postoperative RRT was associated with higher early and late mortality. Besides, the strategy of total revascularization should be applied to ensure long-term survival benefit.

Abstract
Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect is a devastating complication of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Although surgical intervention is considered the gold standard for treatment, it carries high morbidity and mortality rates. We present 2 cases that illustrate the application of percutaneous closure of a post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect: the first in a patient who had undergone prior surgical closure and then developed a new shunt, and the second as a bridge to definitive surgery in a critically ill patient.

Abstract
Background—
Postinfarction ventricular septal defect carries a grim prognosis. Surgical repair offers reasonable outcomes in patients who survive a healing phase. Percutaneous device implantation represents a potentially attractive early alternative.
Methods and Results—
Postinfarction ventricular septal defect closure was attempted in 53 patients from 11 centers (1997–2012; aged 72±11 years; 42% female). Nineteen percent had previous surgical closure. Myocardial infarction was anterior (66%) or inferior (34%). Time from myocardial infarction to closure procedure was 13 (first and third quartiles, 5–54) days. Devices were successfully implanted in 89% of patients. Major immediate complications included procedural death (3.8%) and emergency cardiac surgery (7.5%). Immediate shunt reduction was graded as complete (23%), partial (62%), or none (15%). Median length of stay after the procedure was 5.0 (2.0–9.0) days. Fifty-eight percent survived to discharge and were followed up for 395 (63–1522) days, during which time 4 additional patients died (7.5%). Factors associated with death after postinfarction ventricular septal defect closure included the following: age (hazard ratio [HR]=1.04;
P
=0.039), female sex (HR=2.33;
P
=0.043), New York Heart Association class IV (HR=4.42;
P
=0.002), cardiogenic shock (HR=3.75;
P
=0.003), creatinine (HR=1.007;
P
=0.003), defect size (HR=1.09;
P
=0.026), inotropes (HR=4.18;
P
=0.005), and absence of revascularization therapy for presenting myocardial infarction (HR=3.28;
P
=0.009). Prior surgical closure (HR=0.12;
P
=0.040) and immediate shunt reduction (HR=0.49;
P
=0.037) were associated with survival.
Conclusions—
Percutaneous closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defect is a reasonably effective treatment for these extremely high-risk patients. Mortality remains high, but patients who survive to discharge do well in the longer term.

Hyperoxic vasoconstriction of human pulmonary arteries: a novel insight into acute ventricular septal defects. ISRN CARDIOLOGY 2013; 2013:685735. [PMID: 23606985 PMCID: PMC3628186 DOI: 10.1155/2013/685735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2013] [Accepted: 03/10/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objectives. Acute rises in pulmonary artery pressures following postinfarction ventricular septal defects present a challenge. We hypothesised that the abnormally high oxygen content exposure to the pulmonary arteries may be a factor. We investigated the contractile responses of human pulmonary arteries to changes in oxygen tension. Methods. Isometric tension was measured in large and medium sized pulmonary artery rings obtained from lung resections for patients with bronchial carcinoma
(n = 30). Fresh rings were mounted in organ baths bubbled under basal conditions with hyperoxic or normoxic gas mixes and the gas tensions varied during the experiment. We studied whether voltage-gated calcium channels and nitric oxide signalling had any role in responses to oxygen changes. Results. Hypoxia caused a net mean relaxation of 18.1% ± 15.5 (P < 0.005) from hyperoxia. Subsequent hyperoxia caused a contraction of 19.2% ± 13.5 (P < 0.005). Arteries maintained in normoxia responded to hyperoxia with a mean constriction of 14.8% ± 3.9 (P < 0.005). Nifedipine inhibited the vasoconstrictive response (P < 0.05) whilst L-NAME had no effect on any hypoxic vasodilatory response. Conclusions. We demonstrate that hyperoxia leads to vasoconstriction in human pulmonary arteries. The mechanism appears to be dependent on voltage-gated calcium channels. Hyperoxic vasoconstriction may contribute to acute rises in pulmonary artery pressures.

Abstract
Background To review the experience of surgical repair of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and analyze the associated outcomes and prognostic factors. Methods Following approval from the Singhealth Centralised Institutional Review Board (reference: 2011/881/C), a retrospective review was performed on 38 consecutive patients who had undergone surgical repair of post-infarction VSR between 1999 and 2011. Continuous variables were expressed as either mean ± standard deviation or median with 25th and 75th percentiles. These were compared using two-tailed t-test or Mann–Whitney U test respectively. Categorical variables were compared using chi-square or Fisher’s exact test. To identify predictors of operative mortality, univariate analysis of perioperative variables followed by multivariate analysis of significant univariate risk factors was performed. A two-tailed p-value < 0.05 was used to indicate statistical significance. Results Mean age was 65.7 ± 9.4 years with 52.6% males. The VSR was anterior in 28 (73.7%) and posterior in 10 patients. Median interval from myocardial infarction to VSR was 1 day (1, 4). Pre-operative intra-aortic balloon pump was inserted in 37 patients (97.8%). Thirty-six patients (94.7%) underwent coronary angiography. Thirty-five patients (92.1%) underwent patch repair. Mean aortic cross clamp time was 82 ± 40 minutes and mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 152 ± 52 minutes. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was performed in 19 patients (50%), with a mean of 1.5 ± 0.7 distal anastomoses. Operative mortality within 30 days was 39.5%. Univariate analysis identified emergency surgery, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, inotropic support, right ventricular dysfunction, EuroSCORE II, intra-operative red cell transfusion, post-operative renal failure and renal replacement therapy (RRT) as predictors of operative mortality. Multivariate analysis identified NYHA class and post-operative RRT as predictors of operative mortality. Ten year overall survival was 44.4 ± 8.4%. Right ventricular dysfunction, LVEF and NYHA class at presentation were independent factors affecting long-term survival. Concomitant CABG did not influence early or late survival. Conclusions Surgical repair of post-infarction VSR carries a high operative mortality. NYHA class at presentation and post-operative RRT are predictors of early mortality. Right ventricular dysfunction, LVEF and NYHA class at presentation affect long-term survival. Concomitant CABG does not improve survival.

Abstract
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was 'in which patients with a post-infarct ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR) might immediate surgery give better results than delayed surgery in terms of mortality'? Altogether, 88 papers were found using the reported search criteria, of which 6 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. The recommendations are based on outcomes from 3238 patients undergoing surgery for PIVSR. Mean age was 67.5 ± 8.8 (40-88 years). Left ventricular function was compromised in most patients with mean ejection fraction of 40%. All papers carried out univariate and/or multivariate analyses of variables that contributed to different in-hospital mortalities. Early surgery, i.e. from >3 days to within 4 weeks after MI, had an overall in-hospital mortality of 52.4%; delayed surgery, typically from 1 week to after 4 weeks post-myocardial infarction, had an overall operative in-hospital mortality of 7.56%. Most authors observe that a shorter time between rupture and surgery is an unfavourable predictor of outcome independent of haemodynamic status. The consensus was that nearly all patients with PIVSR, particularly if >15 mm diameter with a significant shunt and resultant haemodynamic deterioration, should undergo early surgical repair. The precise timing of surgery depends on patients' haemodynamic status. Exclusion from surgery should be considered if life expectancy or quality is severely limited by another limiting underlying pathology. If the patient is in cardiogenic shock, due to pulmonary to systemic blood flow ratio shunt rather than infarct size, immediate surgery should follow resuscitation measures and cardiac support. If the patient is haemodynamically stable, surgery could be performed after 3-4 weeks of medical optimization with inotropic and mechanical cardiac support. If there is clinical deterioration, immediate surgery is indicated.
