Abstract:
A surgical procedure that reduces the recurrence of post-infarction posterior ventricular septal defects is described. This technique is based on a double ventriculotomy without an infarctectomy, the use of two patches, and glue, which is applied between the two patches. Excellent results have been obtained in 18 consecutives patients with this simple and reliable technique.
