ABSTRACT
The management of some subsets of patients with an unsuccessful balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) and poor general condition is typically challenging. Our novel technique involves off-pump atrial septectomy using laparoscopic forceps guided by intraoperative direct pericardial echocardiography. The technique was first used in a case of tricuspid atresia in a patient in preshock and was then used in 2 more patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) (age, 10-116 days; body weight, 2.4-3.7 kg). There were no operative complications of embolism or bleeding in our series. Our off-pump atrial septectomy technique is an effective approach in specific cases.
