Ventricular septal rupture with dissection of the interventricular
septum is an extremely rare complication following myocardial
infarction, and the optimal surgical strategy remains unclear because of
the limited number of surgical cases. Here we report a case of
ventricular septal rupture with dissection of the interventricular
septum, which we treated using a modification of the extended double
patch technique via false lumen incision to close the ventricular septal
rupture and exclude the dissection cavity.
