Abstract
We describe a technique for repair of ventricular septal defect with two bovine pericardial patches joined to make a single pouch. The size of the finished pouch can be adjusted as desired after both patches are sutured to the myocardium, unlike when one patch is used. Suturing is easier than when a single patch is used.
