Abstract
The repair of postinfarction VSD by the infarct exclusion is feasible and safe. This technique seems to offer sufficient favorable early and long-term results compared with other techniques. Early indication, preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump support may improve the surgical results. Preoperative cardiogenic shock carries a poor prognosis for this patient group.
