RESUMEN
Ventricular septal defect closure with a fenestrated patch is a recognized rescue maneuver to decrease the risk of right ventricular failure after complete repair in patients with pulmonary atresia. If the fenestration needs surgical closure, severe calcification of the patch may make it extremely difficult. We describe the closure of such a defect in a 6-year-old boy, using a double Dacron patch sandwich.
