Abstract:
A 47-year-old man with ventricular septal perforation (VSP) was repaired successfully. His preoperative examinations revealed Hegglin like syndrome with fixed and split second heart sound due to early closure of aortic valve (QT-Q II A = 58 ms), and bidirectional shunt through the VSP. These abnormal phenomena occurred due to shortening of left ventricular ejection time and prolongation of right ventricular ejection time, and were completely abolished after the operation.
