Abstract：Objective To summarize the postoperative management experience of minimally invasive occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus via left chest parasternal approach.Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 21 cases that received transesophageal echocardiography guided left chest parasternal approach minimally invasive occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus was conducted.Results Successful plugging operations were performed in all 21 cases, with no intraoperative conversion to thoracotomy or blood transfusion, nor postoperative complications, including occluder detach-ment, hemolysis, arrhythmia or secondary thoracotomy.All the patients were followed up for 1-10 months without com-plications, and echocardiography review after discharge showed no residual shunt and occluder shift.Conclusion The left chest parasternal approach for minimally invasive occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus is worthy to promote due to the safety, less trauma and quick recovery.High quality postoperative management can ensure the successful operation and accelerate the postoperative recovery.
