Comparison of three different approaches for therapying of congenital heart disease

Objective Comparasion of management of congenital heart disease via median sternotomy incision(MSI), right axillary minithoracotomy(RAM) and thoracoscopy (TS). Methods 51 patients were selected into three groups randomly. 20 patients underwent median sternotomy incision (Atrial Septal defect(n=3) including ventricular septal defect (n=7), ventricular septal defect with patent foramen ovale (n=8), ventricular septal defect with Atrial Septal defect(n=2). 14 patients underwent right axillary minithoracotomy including atrial septal defect(n=5), atrial septal defect with tricuspid insufficiency (n=1), ventricular septal defect (n=3), ventricular septal defect with patent foramen ovale(n=4). 17 patients underwent thoracoscopy including atrial septal defect(n=6), ventricular septal defect (n=9), ventricular septal defect with patent foramen ovale (n=2). The operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, drainage, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay, postoperative hospital stay, the total
