Resumen

FLORES-UMANZOR, Eduardo Josué et al. Central extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to decision in a patient with a ventricular septal rupture complicating a myocardial infarction. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.6, pp.405-405. ISSN 0120-5633.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2017.12.022.

In the era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention, mechanical complications after acute myocardial infarction are extremely rare, with an incidence of less than 0.5%. Rupture of the ventricular septum is the least frequent occurrence. Despite early surgical repair, mortality still remains high. Patients who are at high risk of perioperative death include those with cardiogenic shock and multiorgan dysfunction. In this group, a mechanical circulatory support such as an Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation circuit could be used as bridge to surgical repair is feasible or heart transplantation, as it provides hemodynamic stability and the potential to correct multiorgan dysfunction. We reported a case pf ECMO device implantation as a bridge to heart transplantation in a patient with post infarction ventricular septal rupture. Unfortunately, while on the waiting list for heart transplantation with maximum priority the patient had massive diffuse alveolar hemorrhage secondary to the anticoagulation required by the equipment and died.
