Abstract
- Postinfarction ventricular septal defect often induces cardiogenic shock and requires operative treatment early after myocardial infarction. Although the operative mortality of this disease has decreased during the past 3 decades, it is still relatively high. In this case, to prevent global myocardial ischemia, we used the technique of repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect on a beating heart. This approach does not require aortic cross-clamping and provides superior myocardial protection.
