Abstract：Objective To summarize the minimally invasive transthoracic ventricular septal defect (VSD) occlusion operation experience in the clinical application. Methods 142 VSD patients (admitted from August, 2013 to October, 2014) were chosen. All patients were treated with minimally invasive transthoracic device closure under the monitoring of transoesophageal echocardiogram. Results 136 cases received successful closure, and 6 cases still need CPB conventional extracorporeal circulation operation. After follow-up for 3 ~ 12 months for 102 patients, 16 cases remain residual shunt. Conclusion The short-term therapeutic effect of minimally invasive transthoracic device closure of VSD is satisfying. However , the long-term follow-up remains to be studied.
