Use of PCPS during resuscitation for papillary muscle ruptured patient —A case report—

Abstract

A 64-year-old man was transferred to our ICU with the aid of IABP under the diagnosis of papillary muscle rupture after acute myocardial infarction. Immediately after the admission in ICU, the patient became cardiac standstill and was resuscitated using percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (POPS) system. Under the support of PCPS, he was transferred to the operating room and underwent mitral valve replacement. Unfortunately he died on postoperative 29 day. However, PCPS was useful to manage papillary muscle rupture patient during resuscitation and perioperative periods.
