Interrupted suture was associated with fewer residual shunts after postinfarction VSP repair; leaves open survival impact and needs randomized confirmation.
Does an interrupted suture technique reduce postoperative residual shunt and mortality compared to a running suture technique in patients undergoing surgical repair of postinfarction ventricular septal perforation?
The interrupted suture technique for surgical repair of postinfarction VSP reduces the incidence of postoperative residual shunt compared to a running suture technique, though 30-day mortality remains high.
