[Surgical repair of infarct-related ventricular septal perforation using Teflon felt patch].
Eight patients with infarct-related ventricular septal perforation underwent surgical repair using Teflon felt patch. The overall early operative mortality rate was 12% (1/8). One of three patients (33%) with cardiogenic shock preoperatively, one of five patients (20%) operated within 7 days after the onset of infarction died within 30 days after operation. A patient with inferior infarction died early after operation. In 5 of 8 patients (63%), IABP was removed within 24 hours after operation. A patient died due to the recurrence of gastric cancer in late postoperative phase. None of patients was found to have a recurrence of the ventricular septal perforation after the operation. Five of 6 patients (83%) surviving the operation are in NYHA class I or II.
