Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the difference of clinical effect of transthoracic minimally-invasive closure and thoracoscopic repair in the treatment of atrial septal defect(ASD)under the guidance of transthoracic echocardiography(TTE)so as to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of two surgeries and discuss the best choice.MethodsNinety patients with ASD who underwent minimally invasive surgery in our hospital from July 2011 to January 2017 were selected and divided into control group and observation group according to the operation mode,with 45 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with transthoracic minimally invasive occlusion guided by body surface TTE,and the control group was treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic repair.The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared.Altogether There was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The operation time,ICU stay time,ventilator use time and hospital stay were significantly shorter in the observation group than those in the control group(P<0.05).The size of surgical incision in the observation group was significantly smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05).The total cost of hospitalization in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The amount of intraoperative bleeding,postoperative thoracic drainage and total blood transfusion in the observation group were lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The operation time,ICU stay time,ventilator use time and hospital stay were significantly shorter in the observation group than those in the control group(P<0.05).The size of surgical incision in the observation group was significantly smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05).The total cost of hospitalization in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The amount of intraoperative bleeding,postoperative thoracic drainage and total blood transfusion in the observation group were lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).ConclusionBoth the two surgeries are safe and effective methods for the treatment of ASD.But the TTE-guided minimally-invasive ASD closure has the features of less trauma,simple operation and significant clinical effect without extracorporeal circulation,which can be applied in the grass-roots units.
