Ann Thorac Surg. 2003 Aug;76(2):622-3. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(03)00151-6.

Abstract

We present a successful transatrial repair of ventricular septal rupture and tricuspid valve reconstruction, using the "edge-to-edge" technique, as a serious complication of a posterior myocardial infarction in an 83-year-old woman.
