A modified infarct-exclusion technique for postinfarction ventricular septal perforation is presented. The perforation is closed directly by a small patch next to the conventional patch, and biological glue is applied between the patches to induce stable polymerization. The patch stuck to the infarcted septum, and no residual shunt was observed in any patient because the wide adhesion prevents excessive pressure on the suture line. Seven of 9 patients in whom this method was used had good results. This technique appears suited for repair of ventricular septal perforations, especially those with extensive fresh infarction.
