Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of via vertical right axillary mini-thoracotomy (VRAMT )approach in repairing ventricular septal defect (VSD) in the children patients weighing less than 15 kg.Methods This was a retrospective cohort study that included 84 children patients (41 males and 43 females) aged 3-34 (15.17±7.26)months old, weighing 5-15 (9.64±2.64) kg. The children diagnosed with VSD by echocardiography from January 2017 to November 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China were retrospectively analyzed. They were categorized into two different groups according to the surgical approach used on them, namely, VRAMT group (38 cases) and MS group (46 cases). Patients in the VRAMT group received VSD repair via VRAMT, whereas the MS group received VSD repair via median sternotomy. The aortic cross-clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, intensive care unit (ICU) duration, ventilation time, length of hospital stays, incidence of residual shunt, Ⅲ degree atrioventricular block , redo-surgery, and cardiac functional grading at 6 months after surgery were compared between the two groups.Results The baseline characters included age, gender, weight, style and diameter of defect, differential pressure across the defect, ejection fraction between the two groups (all P values>0.05). Patients in the two groups all had a successful surgery. No patients had Ⅲ degree atrioventricular block and redo-surgery. All patients were followed up 6 months after the operation. Compared with the MS group, i.e., (39.23±9.86) h and (17.41±4.55) d, the patients in the VRAMT group, i.e., (24.23±5.48) h and (15.37±3.91) d, had shorter ICU duration and hospital stays (24.23±5.48) h vs. (39.23±9.86) h and (15.37±3.91) d vs. (17.41±4.55) d, respectively(all P values<0.05). Age, gender, weight, VSD style and diameter, differential pressure, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), suture method, CPB time, aortic cross-clamp time, ventilation time, incidence of residual shunt, and NYHA 6 months after surgery did not significantly differ between the two groups (all P values>0.05).Conclusions For children patients who received VSD repairing and weighed less than 15 kg, the VRAMT approach was obvious clinical advantages compared with the median sternotomy approach and deserves more clinical attention.
