Key result
Bovine pericardial patch repair successfully closed a rare acute ventricular septal perforation with septal dissection complicating takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
This case demonstrates that surgical repair using a bovine pericardial patch can successfully treat the rare complication of ventricular septal perforation with dissection in takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
May support bovine pericardial patch repair in rare takotsubo cases with septal perforation; leaves open need for broader evidence.
