Closing doubly committed ventricular septal defect through a super minimal intercostal incision / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:Combined with the actual clinical situation, to introduce the application of invasive trans super minimal intercostal device closure in doubly committed ventricular septal defect(DCVSD).Methods:Between January 2017 and July 2020, 82 DCVSD children were recruited. Relevant data such as operation time, length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, etc. were analyzed, and the follow-up of the postoperative period was used to evaluate the effect of the operation.Results:Among them, 2 children’s puncture points were bleeding. Chest closure time was obviously extended. The total operation time of the remaining children was 24-72(47.54±12.06)min, among which the umbrella release time was 5-37(16.16±8.01)min, and the chest opening and closing time was 14-59(31.56±9.58) min. Pericardial effusion occurred in 2 patients after operation, and the discharge time was more than 2 weeks. The remaining children were hospitalized for 3-9(5.79±1.45)days after surgery.Conclusion:Closing DCVSDs through a super minimal intercostal incision under TEE guidance was safe, effective and less trauma.
