Does surgical repair using a pericardial patch improve long-term outcomes in patients with postinfarction ventricular free wall rupture?
Surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular free wall rupture using a pericardial patch and biological glue is an effective technique with excellent long-term outcomes.

Supports surgical repair with pericardial patch for postinfarction free wall rupture; leaves open randomized confirmation of long-term outcomes.
Postinfarction rupture of ventricular free wall treated surgically gives excellent long-term results. Our first choice for repair is the covering technique with a large pericardial patch anchored with biological glue and epicardial sutures.
