ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the experience of microinvasive surgical occlusion for ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASD). Methods A total of 43 patients with ostium secundum ASD was given microinvasive surgical occlusion. The diameter of ASD was 9.8~36.3 mm. An incision 2~3 cm in length was made on the right anterior chest. A special occluder was inserted to close the ostium under the guidance of transesophageal echocardiography. Results All of the patients were successfully occluded. Transient third degree AV block happened in 2 patients during the procedure. Moderate amount of pleural effusion occurred in 3 patients (cured). Echocardiography at 3 months after operation showed significant relief of pulmonary artery hypertension (from 52?21 mm Hg to 38?16 mm Hg; t=2.917, P=0.005). The patients were followed for 3~21 months (13.6?8.3 months), no dislocation of the device or atrial shunt was found. Conclusions Microinvasive surgical occlusion is safe and efficient for the closure of ostium secundum ASD. It is suitable for all patients in various age ranges.
