RESUMO

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was recently described as an approach to clip the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Between May 1994 and May 1996, we performed this procedure on 34 children below 12 years of age (mean 7 years). Thirty-two had an isolated PDA and two had associated small perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD), diagnosed on echocardiography and colour flow mapping. None had pulmonary arterial hypertension. The procedure was successful in 33 (97%) children confirmed by absence of residual shunt on serial echocardiography. Complications in the form of pneumothorax (1) and vocal card paralysis (2) were encountered in three children. The overall hospital stay was reduced to five days. In conclusion, the technique of PDA clipping using VATS is easy to learn and highly successful with acceptable risk of complications.
