Pericardial hood repair of cardiac rupture secondary to extended myocardial infarction.
A surgical technique for simple and safe repair of oozing-type postinfarction cardiac rupture secondary to extended myocardial infarction is described. A hood-shaped pericardium was glued with gelatin-resorcinol and formaldehyde glue to cover the extended oozing infarcted myocardium. This technique was used on 3 elderly patients with good results.
