Aim. The main aim of our study was to compare the results of transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure versus minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) focusing on cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and echocardiographic findings preoperatively and 1 month after defect closure.Material and methods. 54 patients with ASD and finally 43 patients who were followed up were included in the study. 21 patients were in MICS (robotic or endoscopic approach) and 22 patients were in transcatheter closure arm. All patients investigated in detail by transesophageal echocardiography and underwent cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). At the end of first month, CPET and transthorasic echocardiography were reperformed.Results. There was significant improvement of physical capacity after 1 month following the transcatheter closure procedure documented by exercise time and VO 2 max. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity (Tri S) were not changed. In surgery group right heart diameters declined significantly; but VO 2 max, TAPSE and Tri S significantly decreased.Conclusion. Cardiopulmonary exercise function is increased in transcatheter closure group 1 month after closure and contrary not in MICS group. This may be caused by long recovery time of the right ventricle after surgery. Device closure of ASD is preferable to surgical closure if the anatomy is suitable. However, MICS for ASD closure is safe, with short recovery period and less scarring.

Background and Aims: Atrial septal defect operation is a safe and low-risk procedure. Cosmetic results have been an important issue, so right anterolateral thoracotomy approach has been used for repair. We present minimally invasive ASD closure via limited right anterolateral thoracotomy, as our early experience in road of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Methods: This study was done in the Manmohan Cardiothoracic and Transplant Center in the time period of 2012 to 2013. The study included 70 patients aged 15 – 35 years old (22.1±5.5) admitted for surgical repair of their secundum atrial septal defects. The patients were randomly allocated into one of two groups according to the approach used in their operation. Right anterolateral thoracotomy(RALT) group included 35 patients operated via right anterolateral thoracotomy.and median sternotomy(MS) group included 35 patients operated via the median sternotomy. Result: Of 70 patients only 63 patients meet the criteria for analysis. There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups regarding their demographic data and duration of operation. Postoperative pleural/pericardial effusion and pneumothorax occurred in 2.1% of patients in MS and 6.6% in Right anterolateral thoracotomygroup (p= 0.001). Total in hospital pain score was high in sternotomy group than thoracotomy group, but did not reach statistically significant values. There was no operative or late mortality or morbidity in the early follow-up (range, 1 m to 2 years, mean 1.34 yrs). Conclusion: RALT is a safe and effective alternative approach to MS incision for ASD closure. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njh.v12i1.12340 Nepalese Heart Journal Vol.12(1) 2015: 21-25
