  • Title: Improving hemodynamics - Prolonged intra-aortic balloon pump usage in posterior ventricular septal rupture with right ventricle dysfunction.
    Author: Raman K, Desugari TT, Sowmya S, Angula SS, Uthayakumaran K, Mohanraj A.
    Journal: Ann Card Anaesth; 2020; 23(1):106-108. PubMed ID: 31929262.
    Abstract:
    The associated mortality and morbidity of posterior ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is quite high increasing to almost 80% due to severe right ventricle dysfunction and pulmonary artery hypertension. Herein, we present a case of posterior VSR due to inferior wall myocardial infarction who underwent surgery. Premature removal of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) led to hemodynamic deterioration and he was salvaged with prolonged and prompt re-institution of IABP. This case also highlights the importance of IABP in right ventricle failure.
