Surgery, though challenging, is considered the treatment of choice. The authors sought to study the early and long-term results of patients undergoing surgical treatment for post-AMI MCs.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients who underwent surgical treatment for post-infarction MCs between 2001 through 2019 in 27 centres worldwide were retrieved from the database of the CAUTION study. In-hospital and long-term mortality were the primary outcomes. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to determine independent factors associated with overall mortality. The study included 720 patients. The median age was 70.0 [62.0\u201377.0] years, with a male predominance (64.6%). The most common MC encountered was ventricular septal rupture (VSR) (59.4%). Cardiogenic shock was seen on presentation in 56.1% of patients. In-hospital mortality rate was 37.4%; in more than 50% of cases, the cause of death was low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS). Late mortality occurred in 133 patients, with a median follow-up of 4.4 [1.0\u20138.6] years. Overall survival at 1, 5, and 10 years was 54.0, 48.1, and 41.0%, respectively. Older age (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.001) and post-operative LCOS (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.001) were independent predictors of overall mortality. For hospital survivors, 10-year survival was 65.7% and was significantly higher for patients with VSR than those with papillary muscle rupture (long-rank P\u00a0=\u00a00.022).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Contemporary data from a multicentre cohort study show that surgical treatment for post-AMI MCs continues to be associated with high in-hospital mortality rates.
