Postinfarction ventricular septal defect and ventricular pseudoaneurysm are rare complications of acute transmural myocardial infarction. Because they are rare, surgical experience with these conditions is limited but advancements in surgical technique have resulted in improved survival. The infarction exclusion technique for repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect in particular has resulted in significant survival benefit. Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting has been demonstrated to improve long-term survival in those patients undergoing ventricular septal defect repair.
