The left ventricular "lining" technique for repair of ischemic ventricular septal rupture.

We describe a technique to repair ischemic ventricular septal rupture via a left ventriculotomy. It employs a large endoventricular patch as a "lining" over the locally patched septal defect and the free wall defect which is going to be roofed with an external patch. Both defects are then closed in double layers, holding a single continuous patch. The technique enhances the advantage of the left ventriculotomy in the repair and minimizes ventriculotomy-related morbidity. © 2023. The Author(s).
