  • Title: Double patch repair through a single ventriculotomy for ischemic ventricular septal defects.
    Author: Caimmi PP, Grossini E, Kapetanakis EI, Boido R, Coppo C, Scappellato F, Vacca G, Teodori G.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2010 May; 89(5):1679-81. PubMed ID: 20417818.
    Abstract:
    We present a novel postinfarction ventricular septal defect repair, through a single ventriculotomy, using a biseptal double patch and gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde glue. This technique reduces the postoperative recurrence of ventricular septal defects by reducing the tension on the patch sutures and by preventing blood from infiltrating into the suture lines within the ventricular septal defect cavity.
