Overview
Minimally invasive approach to ASDs/Mini-thoracotomy
Steps in the surgery
- Incision made through the right side of the chest.
- Patient put on heart-lung bypass machine.
- Tubes placed in the main artery and vein of the right leg
- The heart stopped during operation.
- Right atrium opened and atrial septal defect exposed
- Defect repaired
- Heart closed and restarted
- Heart-lung bypass is discontinued
Advantages
- Less invasive
- Smaller hospital stay
- Smaller recovery and faster healing of wound
- No or minimal activity restrictions post-surgery
- Lesser infections
