Thoracoscopic closure of atrial septal defect in perfused beating hearts.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to characterize the mid and long-term clinical outcomes of 856 atrial septal defect cases that underwent closure using MTCST without the assistance of a robotic system.

Methods

From June 2009 to September 2023, a total of 856 cases at our center underwent selective repair of a secundum-type atrial septal defect using MTCST without Da Vinci robotic assistance. According to whether the operation was performed during an arrested heart or not, patients were divided into arrested heart group (n = 110) and beating heart group (n = 746). Cardiopulmonary bypass was established peripherally. Three-port incisions in the right chest were conducted first, followed by a pericardiotomy, superior and inferior vena cava snaring, atriotomy, and the closure of atrial
