Background: An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most frequently used device 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) is still lacking. We aimed to investigate the impacts of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support on 30-day outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated VSR.
