A 77-year-old woman who presented with chest pain was diagnosed with acute anterior myocardial infarction. Echocardiography revealed pericardial effusion, and she underwent sutureless repair for postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture. Echocardiography performed 2 days postoperatively revealed ventricular septal rupture and left ventricular acute dilatation. Hemodynamic instability with ventricular tachycardia and rapid decline of kidney function developed. Four days after the primary surgery, we performed successful sandwich repair for ventricular septal rupture and the dilatation. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and postoperative evaluation did not show a residual shunt or left ventricular dilatation.
