Methods: We included patients undergoing surgery for VSR from January 2009 until June 2021 from two centers in Germany. Patients were separated into two groups, those with and without ECLS, before surgery. Pre- and intraoperative data, outcome, and survival during follow-up were evaluated. Results: A total of 47 consecutive patients were included. Twenty-five patients were in the ECLS group, and 22 were in the group without ECLS. All the ECLS-group patients were in cardiogenic shock preoperatively. Most patients in the ECLS group were transferred from another hospital [n = 21 (84%) vs. no-ECLS (n = 12 (57.1%), p = 0.05]. We observed a higher number of postoperative bleeding complications favoring the group without ECLS [n = 6 (28.6%) vs. n = 16 (64%), p &lt; 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the persistence of residual ventricular septal defect (VSD) between groups [ECLS n = 4 (16.7%) and no-ECLS n = 3 (13.6%)], p = 1.0. Total in-hospital mortality was 38.3%. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality [n = 6 (27.3%) vs. n = 12 (48%), p = 0.11] and survival at last follow-up between the groups (p = 0.50). Conclusion: We detected no statistical difference in the in-hospital and long-term mortality in patients who received ECLS as supportive therapy after MI-induced VSR compared to those without ECLS. ECLS could be an effective procedure applied as a bridge to surgery in patients with VSR and cardiogenic shock.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd10110446","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,30]],"date-time":"2023-10-30T13:00:49Z","timestamp":1698670849000},"page":"446","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Role of ECLS in Managing Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4907-7020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Sandoval Boburg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital T\u00fcbingen, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stoyan","family":"Kondov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Heart Center Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"},{"name":"Medical Faculty, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mladen","family":"Karamitev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Faculty, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Schlensak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital T\u00fcbingen, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8245-4457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafal","family":"Berger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital T\u00fcbingen, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helene","family":"Haeberle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Hospital T\u00fcbingen, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Walter","family":"Jost","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital T\u00fcbingen, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Albi","family":"Fagu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Heart Center Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"},{"name":"Medical Faculty, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2975-2751","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Friedhelm","family":"Beyersdorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Heart Center Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"},{"name":"Medical Faculty, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maximilian","family":"Kreibich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Heart Center Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"},{"name":"Medical Faculty, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Czerny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Heart Center Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"},{"name":"Medical Faculty, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Siepe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Heart Center Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"},{"name":"Medical Faculty, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, 79106 Freiburg, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Cardiovascular Center, Inselspital, 3010 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1095","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2010.06.013","article-title":"Trends in incidence and mortality rates of ventricular septal rupture during acute myocardial infarction","volume":"106","author":"Moreyra","year":"2010","journal-title":"Am.
