Objectives: To investigate the feasibility and safety of non-robotically assisted totally thoracoscopic closure for atrial septal defect (ASD) on perfused beating hearts.
Methods: Twenty-four patients (8-45 years, mean 14.4 ± 18.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared the quality of life outcomes between patients undergoing totally thoracoscopic closure of atrial septal defects and those receiving conventional sternotomy.
- All patients in the thoracoscopic group experienced successful surgeries with shorter operation times, less postoperative pain, and quicker recovery to school or work.
- Results indicated that the thoracoscopic approach led to significantly better quality of life scores in various health domains compared to the sternotomy group.
Background: Thoracoscopic closure of atrial or ventricular septal defect is a new surgical method. The postoperative mental health status of patients treated with this novel approach is presently unknown.
Objective: The aims of this study were to compare psychological symptoms between patients treated with thoracoscopy and those treated with conventional open heart surgery and to evaluate the effect of perioperative counseling on postoperative psychological symptoms.
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in high-risk patients is associated with significant perioperative complications and anxiety. Prevention of these postoperative complications and anxiety is important in the improvement of clinical outcomes following CABG.
Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of nurse-initiated preoperative education and counseling on postoperative complications and anxiety symptoms following CABG.
Objectives: We sought to investigate the feasibility and safety of totally thoracoscopic repair of a ventricular septal defect.
Methods: Totally thoracoscopic repair of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect was performed in 36 patients (16 male patients; age, 5-19 years; average age, 10.2 ± 4.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the safety and feasibility of totally endoscopic repair of atrial septal defects (ASDs) without robotic assistance in 40 patients, primarily teens.
- The surgical procedure involved small incisions and was performed using a thoracoscope, with an average cardiopulmonary bypass time of 56.2 minutes and no major complications reported.
- Results showed successful closure of ASDs in all patients, with an average hospital stay of 4 to 6 days, indicating this technique as a safe and effective treatment option.
