[Clinical experience with gelatin-resorcine-formol glue for repair of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture].

Abstract

We report a surgical technique for treatment of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR). An 82-year-old woman underwent successful surgical repair of a VSR two days after suffering anterior myocardial infarction. After repair of the VSR with a Dacron patch, the left ventriculotomy was closed with mattress sutures over felt strips using the gelatin-resorcine-formol glue to reinforce the left ventricular wall. The patient was doing well four months after surgery.
