    Abstract:
    Between 1983 and 1996, twenty-two consecutive patients underwent surgical repair for postinfarction ventricular perforation (VSP). Overall hospital mortality was 31.8% in the reviewed group. 15 patients were operated upon within two weeks of onset of VSP and hospital mortality was 27.3% in this group. The earlier operation might provide more favorable results in the surgery of VSP. When the preoperative coronary angiography revealed multivessel disease, concomitant myocardial revascularization was performed. In recent 2 cases, we employed the new technique introduced by Komeda and David for the reconstruction of the left ventricule using a single pericardial patch. We found this new technique had many advantages over traditional "Daggett's method". Better operative results could be expected with this technique.
