Postinfarction ventricular septal perforation repair with endoventricular circular patch plasty using double patches and gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde biological glue.

Abstract

We describe a technique for repairing the ventricular septal perforation 10 days post acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction using the modified infarction exclusion method. The repair involves endoventricular circular patch plasty and application of gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde biological glue in the space between a Teflon felt patch on the infarcted septum and a bovine pericardial patch in the left ventricular cavity. Its use in a patient resulted in an almost normal shaped interventricular septum and left ventricular cavity as well as normal left ventricular function.
