Ministernotomy for repair of congenital cardiac disease

The main advantages of minimally invasive cardiac surgery are cosmetic results and economic profit [1]. However, some points, like a thorough diagnostic (routinely used transesophageal echocardiography) or limited appropriate groups of pathology (septal defects) and patients (age, weight), restrict widespread occurrence of the method [2]. In addition, an inadequate exposure may lead to non-relevant complications for simple procedures. On the other hand, ministernotomy is the effective method provided the right patient selection is made. Given results illustrate the combination of correct patient selection and perfect operative technique.
