Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of blocking congenital ventricular septal defect or congenital atrial septal defect through the small vertical incision of right subaxillary. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 38 patients underwent the surgery of blocking congenital ventricular septal defect or congenital atrial septal defect in our hospital from January to August 2015. There were 22 males and 16 females with a mean age of 10.3±5.2 months, weight of 8.2±3.5 kg. Results There were 34 patients (89.5%) successfully blocked through the small vertical cut of right subaxillary. The average blood loss of those 34 patients was 19.5±13.4 ml and the mean time of surgery was 58.4±28.5 minutes. Four patients (10.5%) with ventricular septal defect failed to block because of aortic valve prolapse. Those patients underwent direct repair of ventricular septal defect under extracorporeal circulation while general anesthesia. There was no serious adverse event during the surgery. The extubation time was 3.9±1.6 hours, the ICU monitoring time was 1.8±0.8 days and the hospital stay time was 3.2±0.5 days. All patients discharged uneventfully. Conclusion Blocking congenital ventricular septal defect or congenital atrial septal defect through the cut of right subaxillary is a feasible, effective, safe, and minimally invasive method. The effect of early follow-up is well.
