title: [Two cases underwent patch closure and mitral annuloplasty for ventricular septal perforation and mitral regurgitation caused by acute inferior myocardial infarction].
abstract: Two cases underwent successful operation for the ventricular septal perforation (VSP) and mitral regurgitation (MR) caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are reported. Patch closure of VSP and mitral annuloplasty (MAP) by Kay-Suzuki method were performed. Location of VSP were posterior ventricular septum and moderate MR were detected in both cases. Case 1 was a 74-year-old man. Four weeks after AMI, patch closure of VSP through right ventricular approach and MAP through trans-atrial approach and also aorto-coronary bypass to left anterior descending artery were performed. Doppler echocardiography was effective to evaluate the severity of VSP and MR. Case 2 was a 69-year-old man. Eight days after AMI, patch closure of VSP and MAP were performed through biventricular approach. Postoperative examination revealed the disappearance of left-to-right shunt and MR in both cases. These cases operated successfully were thought to be rare.
