Postmyocardial infarction intraventricular septal rupture is a life‐threatening medical condition. Surgical management of postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defects (PIVSDs) is associated with a 60% mortality and a 40% incidence of residual ventricular septal defects (rVSDs). Our study aimed to describe our modification of the “Double‐patch” technique of PIVSD repair without using a biological glue and present its postoperative complications and survival.
