Figures & data
Figure 1. Location of the septal rupture. The septal rupture was found in the proximal part of the interventricular septum towards the inferior wall in both patients.
Figure 2. In order to delineate the extent of the defect and its exact location, a cotton band was pulled through the defect from the right to the left atrium.
Figure 3. The figure illustrates the placement of all sutures and both patches through the tricuspid annulus and right ventricle (see text).
Figure 4. In the inferior part, the sutures were taken out of the ventricle and supported by Teflon felt on the diaphragmatic surface of the ventricle.
