Abstract
- Rupture of the posterior ventricular septum is a difficult lesion to repair. This report describes an operative approach through a left ventriculotomy, with complete excision of the left ventricular infarct. The defect created by infarctectomy is closed with a prosthetic patch. Of 15 patients so treated, 11 have survived.
