Balancing Circulatory Support and Ventricular Unloading in Post‐Infarction Ventricular Septal Perforation: A Computational Analysis of ECPELLA Support Configurations

BACKGROUND: Ventricular septal perforation (VSP) is a catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction frequently associated with cardiogenic shock. Combined venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and Impella support (ECPELLA) has emerged as a promisin...
