    Abstract:
    Two successful cases of surgical treatment for left ventricular (LV) rupture following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are reported. The first case was a 62-year-old man with circulatory collapse caused by a blow out type LV rupture. The second case was a 68-year-old woman with a oozing type LV rupture. In both cases PCPS was applied for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After stabilizing their hemodynamics and recovering consciousness with PCPS, surgical repair for LV rupture was performed successfully. The first case was getting well, but suddenly circulatory collapse occurred and he died for acute pulmonary arterial thromboembolism on 10 days after operation. The second case woman is doing well without complication 1 year after operation. In conclusion, PCPS may be useful for LV rupture following AMI for the recovery and maintenance of hemodynamics, and also play as a bridge for surgical repair.
