Abstract
Various techniques have been used for repair of ventricular septal perforation complicating inferior myocardial infarction, but no standard method has been established. An effective technique for closing ventricular septal perforation using double patches via a right atrial approach is described. In our experience, no residual shunt was observed after repair using this procedure.
