    Abstract:
    A 70 year-old man had the surgical repair of post-infarction ventricular septal perforation (VSP) with infarction exclusion technique. Five days after operation, residual shunt was observed by echocardiogram and he developed cardiac failure. Additional surgery for residual shunt was performed 1 month after 1st operation. The infracted myocardium was firm enough to closed directly, so the Xenomedica patch was sutured on the side of the perforated septum around VSP. The postoperative course was uneventful.
