Abstract
Ventricular septal perforation is a complication of acute myocardial infarction that is fatal unless treated surgically. Posterior ventricular septal perforation remains particularly difficult to repair successfully. We report an 80-year-old man with postinfarction posterior ventricular septal perforation who successfully underwent surgical repair using a technique similar to that described by Daggett et al. and was discharged in good health without postoperative septal shunt.Entities:
