Abstract
The successful surgical repair of combined ventricular septal perforation and free wall rupture (double rupture) after inferior myocardial infarction is reported. Extensive inferior wall infarctectomy was performed, and both defects were closed with a prosthetic patch, using a modification of the technique developed by Daggett. The patient was alive and well 1 year after operation.
