All 3 patients had a sinus venosus ASD with right ventricular enlargement. They had no pulmonary hypertension and all had one isolated right superior pulmonary vein<span> connected to the superior vena cava. None had a </span></span>persistent left superior vena cava draining to the </span></span>coronary sinus<span> and none had significant tricuspid regurgitation. All ASD were successfully repaired with a two-patch technique, by means of 2 ports positioned on the right chest wall to allow the insertion of surgical instruments and a small thoracotomy. Mean time of cardiopulmonary bypass was 188</span></span> <!-->minutes, mean time of aortic cross-clamp was 122<!--> <!-->minutes and mean time of operation was 242<!--> <span>minutes. Post-operative mechanical ventilation duration averaged 309</span> <!-->minutes and the mean duration of ICU stay was less than 24<!--> <span>hours for all. No death, residual shunt, moderate tricuspid regurgitation or lung atelectasis was found at 2 months.</span></p></div><div><h3>Conclusion/Perspectives</h3><p>This partial thoracoscopic approach appears as a feasible and safe approach for surgical closure of sinus venosus ASD in adults. Furthermore, it seems to allow less pain and better cosmetic outcome, particularly in women, using a periareolar incision.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8140,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases Supplements","volume":"15 4","pages":"Page 282"},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46437762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
