Abstract：Objective To compare the effect between Totally video-assisted thoracic surgical technique (VATS) and conventional thoracotomy ( CT) on beating heart in repairing atrial septal defect ( ASD).Methods Thirty patients with atrial septal defect were divided into 2 groups averagely ( VATS group and CT group ) .In the VATS group, the atrial septal defects were repaired with video-assisted thoracic surgical technique and in CT group with conventional thoracotomy .The bypass time , the operative time and the postoperative mechanical ventilation time, chest drainage volume , days of postoperative hospital stay and the effect of surgical procedures were compared beteen two groups .Results Between two groups , there were no differences in the bypass time ,the operative time ,and the postoperative mechanical ventilation time ,and the effect of surgical procedures ( P>0.05 ) .However , there were differences in chest drainage volume , days of postoperative hospital stay , postoperative incision pain ( P<0.05 ) .The VATS group had a significantly less chest drainage volume , significantly shorter days of postoperative hospital stay . Conclusion VATS has the advantages of shorter chest incision length ,shorter time of recovery ,less incision pain and so on.The ASD repair under VATS on beating heart was feasible .
