Key result
Novel Rafting Anchor Patch technique standardizes six-step repair for post-infarction left ventricular free wall rupture.
Why the study?
A standardized, simple, and reproducible technique for repairing unsealed post-infarction left ventricular free-wall rupture was needed.
Describes the conceptual rationale and technical steps for the Rafting Anchor Patch (RAP) repair, a standardized method for treating post-infarction left ventricular free-wall rupture.
