Popis: Surgical therapy for ventricular septal perforation associated with acute myocardial infarction is thought to reduce ventricular chamber volume and distort the ventricle due to excision of the myocardium. A 69-year old man underwent elective surgery that used an autologous pericardial patch without excising the myocardium. Intraventricular repair using the autologous pericardial patch enabled preservation of ventricular geometry and chamber volume and did not result in a depression of cardiac function. Moreover, it has been reported that this surgical procedure protects against suture bleeding and decreases the amount of foreign material required, thus possibly reducing the risk of infectious complications.
