| Popis: | Coexisting ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and severe mitral regurgitation following myocardial infarction is rare; only ten cases have been documented in the English literature. Present refinements in myocardial preservation and surgical techniques have markedly improved the results of surgery in this group of desperately ill patients. Early repair of both lesions is advocated and exemplified by a case report. |
