Why the study?
What are the determinants of operative mortality and survival outcomes in patients undergoing surgical repair of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture?
What are the determinants of operative mortality and survival outcomes in patients undergoing surgical repair of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture?
In patients undergoing surgical repair of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture, pre-operative cardiogenic shock is an independent predictor of operative mortality, and concomitant CABG does not confer a survival benefit.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Low preoperative EF signals higher operative mortality after post-MI VSR repair; leaves open need for prospective risk-stratification studies.
Khan et al. (2018) studied this question.
