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 is then stopped
  • Right atrium opened and ASD 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
