  • Title: Right ventricular infarction and mitral stenosis: a resuscitation challenge.
    Author: Champion S, Braunberger E, Vandroux D, Gaüzere BA, Lefort Y.
    Journal: Int J Artif Organs; 2014 Nov; 37(11):861-3. PubMed ID: 25450324.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 49-year-old woman who experienced an inferior myocardial infarction with right ventricular extension, poorly tolerated, partly due to a severe rheumatic mitral stenosis discovered during the hospitalization. Following an initial emergent mechanical circulatory support with femoro-femoral extracorporeal life support (ECLS), the patient had the mitral valve replaced, and the arterio-venous ECLS was removed for a right ventricular assistance device. After seven weeks, she was discharged and fully recovered.
