  • Title: Double-line closure of anterior postinfarction ventricular septal perforation.
    Author: Hamamoto M, Futagami D.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2012 Apr; 20(2):214-6. PubMed ID: 22499979.
    Abstract:
    We describe a modified patch closure technique for repairing subacute anterior ventricular septal perforation. Through a left ventriculotomy, a larger double-layered planar patch is secured with double suture lines to close the defect and cover the ventricular septum. This modification is simple and easy, and may help to avoid a residual shunt.
