A 79 year-old woman was given a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and was immediately transferred to our hospital by a helicopter. Cardiologists successfully revascularized the occluded left anterior descending artery which was considered to be the care of this case. After that, they detected a large ventricular septal perforation by transthoracic echocardiography. We performed repair of the ventricular septal perforation 4 days later, with a modified infarct exclusion technique. Residual shunt flow was not seen by echocardiography after the operation. This patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day 55.
