A 55-year-old man who suffered from acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock was administered veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Ultra-high pre-membrane lung oxygen saturation of 93% was observed. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed the presence of patent foramen ovale. The four-chamber view showed that the tip of the cannula was located in the patent foramen ovale, which resulted in a left-to-right shunt. Without adjusting the position of the drainage cannula, the patient was weaned from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at 136 hours after initiation and survived to hospital discharge.

Abstract A 73-year-old man with an acute myocardial infarction experienced severe cardiogenic shock due to an inferior ventricular septal rupture with a massive left-to-right shunt. Emergency surgery was considered a too high mortality risk. The patient was implanted with an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system as a bridge to surgery. On the seventh day after admission, the ventricular septal defect was successfully repaired. Our case study demonstrates that extracorporeal membrane oxygenation could be an option in cases of ventricular septal rupture as a bridge for stabilizing patients.
