The aim of the study was to develop tactics of surgical treatment of postinfarction interventricular septal (IVS) ruptures. Materials and Methods. Eighteen patients with the diagnosis of "postinfarction interventricular septal rupture" have been examined and operated on. The majority of them were men, 14 in number (77.7%), and only 4 women (22.3%). The average age was 55.66.4 years. The time of hospitalization from the IVS rupture onset varied from 4 days to 3.5 months. Clinically, there was noted left ventricular (4 cases) or biventricular (14 cases) failure of different degree with edema of lower extremities and/or uni-or bilateral hydrothorax. Patients were performed intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in order to stabilize clinical state and support hemodynamics.
