Female sex, preoperative LVEF, cardiac arrest, and use of extracorporeal life support predict early mortality in patients undergoing surgical repair for post-infarction LV free-wall rupture.
Surgical repair of post-infarction LVFWR carries a high operative mortality. Female sex, preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac arrest, and extracorporeal life support are predictors of early mortality.
