Abstract
Objective: To summarize the experience in the treatment of repair ventricular septal defect with left superior vena cava (LSVC) through right axillary thoracotomy. To explore the surgical strategy of treating VSD with LSVC through right axillary thoracotomy. Methods: right axillary thoracotomy and median sternotomy were performed in 73 cases of ventricular septal defect with LSVC in our center from 2018 to 2019. Perioperative data and surgical information were analyzed retrospectively. Results: There were 54 cases of R-group and 19 cases of S-group with median age of 0.8 years (0.5-1.6years). In the 73 patients, 21(38.9%) were men and 52 (61.1%) women. The operation time of R-group was shorter than S-group, p<0.05. The postoperative drainage in R-group was less than S-group, p<0.05. The mechanical ventilation time was longer in the S-group than in the R-group, p<0.05. There were no deaths, serious complications and readmission in the follow-up 6 months(3-10months). Conclusion: Right axillary thoracotomy is a safe procedure with excellent cosmetic and clinical results for ventricular septal defect with left superior vena cava. It has the advantages of short operation time, less bleeding and short postoperative time.
