Key result
In a retrospective study of 93 patients, the double patch and glue technique for early repair of post-infarction VSD avoided recurrence and reduced hospital mortality compared to conventional repair.
Why the study?
Does the double patch and glue technique reduce hospital death and VSD recurrence compared to conventional surgical techniques in patients with early post-infarction VSD?

Does the double patch and glue technique reduce hospital death and VSD recurrence compared to conventional surgical techniques in patients with early post-infarction VSD?
The double patch and glue technique for early repair of post-infarction VSD appears to eliminate VSD recurrence and reduce hospital mortality compared to conventional surgical methods.

May support early double patch repair in post-infarction VSD; leaves open need for prospective confirmation before practice change.
Repair of post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) remains a challenging procedure with a high risk of VSD recurrence. In order to reduce this risk, a double patch and glue technique was introduced in the department in 1986. This surgical technique is hereunder presented. Since 1971, ninety-three patients have been operated on early (≪15 days) after the occurrence of a post-infarction VSD. This retrospective study allows to compare the results of this double patch and glue technique to those obtained with the conventional one, in terms of hospital death and VSD recurrence. The double patch and glue technique avoids recurrence of VSD and plays a part in reducing hospital mortality.

Deville et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) (n=93). Double patch and glue technique vs. Conventional technique was evaluated on Hospital death and VSD recurrence. In a retrospective study of 93 patients, the double patch and glue technique for early repair of post-infarction VSD avoided recurrence and reduced hospital mortality compared to conventional repair.
