Abstract
Nowadays, indications of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) are increasing. We here describe a case of right ventricular rupture requiring challenging sutures. We installed an ECLS to re-establish the haemodynamic conditions and to discharge the ruptured right ventricle, permitting us to suture it.
