Left thorax approach to repair doubly committed juxta‐arterial ventricular septal defect with Da Vinci robotic system

Abstract

Robotic repair of the ventricular septal defect was performed mainly for perimembranous type via right thorax approach. Minimally invasive strategies for doubly committed juxta-arterial ventricular septal defect were limited. Here, for the first time, we successfully repaired a doubly committed juxta-arterial ventricular septal defect with Da Vinci robotic system via left thorax approach. The technique could provide excellent exposure of surgical field and accurate repair, with the advantage of reducing trauma and shortening the overall length of stay.congenital heart disease, robotic cardiac surgery, ventricular septal defect | 497 cardiac surgery compared with a standard sternotomy approach, particularly during the early learning phase. We believe that cross-clamp and CPB time will decrease dramatically after overcoming the learning curve.In summary, we described a new totally robotic endoscopic technique for doubly committed juxta-arterial VSD, which is feasible and safe, with the potential of reducing postoperative pain and shortening the overall length of stay.
