Right subaxillary small incision on low-age and low-weight infants with congenital heart disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As a minimally invasive approach to treating congenital heart disease (CHD), the application of the right subaxillary small incision (RSSI) has been developing fast in its indication spectrum.
