Hypothesis
This paper intends to report our experiences by using an operation of off-pump occlusion of trans-thoracic minimal invasive surgery (OPOTTMIS) on the treatment of consecutive 210 patients with simple congenital heart diseases.
Conclusion
The OPOTTMIS is a safe, less complex, feasible and effective choice to selected simple CHD patients with some good advantages and favorable short term efficacies.
Supporting Evidence
- The successful rate of the performed OPOTTMIS operation was 99.5%.
- The mortality and complication incidence within 72 hours were 0.5% and 4.8%, respectively.
- There were no major complications during peri-operation such as cardiac rupture, infective endocarditis, strokes, haemolysis and thrombosis.
- Post-operation follow-up outcomes showed that there were no III° AVB, no obvious Occluder migration and device broken.
Takeaway
Doctors used a special surgery to fix heart problems in kids, and it worked really well with very few problems afterward.
Methodology
The retrospective clinical data of OPOTTMIS in our institute were collected and compared to other therapeutic measures adopted in the relevant literatures.
Limitations
The long term outcomes and influences to heart functions should be studied in the future.
Participant Demographics
The consecutive 210 simple CHD patients (96 males and 104 females) with ages ranging from 3 to 56 years.
