  ABSTRACT: The infarction exclusion technique using endoventricular continuous sutures for ventricular septal rupture after acute myocardial infarction may be a difficult surgical technique and create residual shunt due to fragile myocardium. We present a patient of ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after extensive anteroseptal myocardial infarction who underwent successful repair using a modified infarction exclusion technique. In our procedure interrupted mattress sutures were placed through the ventricular wall in a way as to exclude the VSR and infarcted muscle of the left ventricle. A heterogeneous pericardial patch is sutured to healthy endocardium in the free and septal wall all around the infarcted area. We describe a procedure for repairing postinfarction VSR, by the infarction exclusion technique with total transmural sutures (TTS) method.
