A 68 year-old man underwent surgical repair of a ventricular septal defect following an acute myocardial infarction. Recurrent interventricular septal rupture with significant left-to-right shunting led to progressive deterioration in cardiac function and intractable heart failure. The patient underwent orthotopic heart transplantation three months after his initial operation, and he is clinically well sixteen months after transplantation.
