Totally Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery for Atrial Septal Defect Repair on Beating Heart Without Robotic Assistance in 25 Patients

Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the effectivity and safety of totally endoscopic cardiac surgery without robotic assistance for atrial septal defect (ASD) closure on beating hearts. Methods Twenty-five patients (adults/children: 15/10) underwent ASD closure using nonrobotically assisted totally endoscopic approach on beating heart. Three 5-mm trocars and one 12-mm trocar were used only the superior vena cava is snared filling the pleural and pericardial cavities with CO2, and the heart was beating during the surgery. Twenty-three patients had isolated secundum ASD (2 of which had severe tricuspid regurgitation) and two patients had ASD combined with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. All ASDs were closed using artificial patch, continuous suture; tricuspid regurgitations were repaired and the anomalous pulmonary veins were drained to the left atrium. Results No postoperative complications or deaths occurred. Mean± SD operation time and mean cardiopulmonary bypass time were 267.2 ±44.6 and 156.1 ± 33.6 min, respectively. These patients were extubated within the first 5 hours, and the volume of blood drainage on the first day was less than 80 mL. Four days after surgery, patients did not need analgesics and were able to return to normal activities 1 week postoperatively. Conclusions Totally endoscopic operation for ASD closure on beating heart is safe, with short recovery period, and surgical scars are of high cosmetic value, especially in a woman and girl.
