title: [Survival in patients after surgical closure of post-infarction rupture of the ventricular septum].
abstract: The authors discuss in the introduction hitherto reported data on the incidence and course of post-infarction ruptures of the interventricular septum and the results of conservative treatment. The high mortality rate after the conservative procedure led to attempts to resolve post-infarction ruptures of the interventricular septum surgically. The authors discuss in detail the indications for early and delayed operations has a decisive influence on the patients' survival. The authors had the opportunity to operate since 1978 till February 1986 five patients with post-infarction perforation of the interventricular septum. Four of the patients were women, one was a man. The mean age of the operated patients was 61 years, the oldest patient was a 75-year-old man and the youngest a 46-year-old woman. During the last check-up in 1994 it was revealed that of five operated patients three had died. One of them three years after operation and two after seven years. One female patient survives for 13 years and one for 11 years. Both are in a satisfactory conditions.
