Objective To therapy the atrial septal defect(ASD) much more better, comparative study of clinical outcomes in surgical treatment of ASD to other three minimally invasive procedures was performed. Methods From June 2007 to March2008, 652 ASD patients had undergone surgery(n=301), transcatheter closure (n=274), openchest Hybrid closure(n=50) and without tracheal intubation Hybrid closure (n=27) of ASD. Patients were and divided into four groups according to the different procedures. Retrospectively we compared the data of patient’s age, hospital stay, trauma, cost of hospitalization, blood transfusion, anesthesia, tracheal intubation and postoperative fellowup. Results Median age and weight of openchest Hybrid and without tracheal intubation Hybrid groups were significantly less than those of the other two groups (P lt;0.01). The achievement ratio of four groups were 100.0%,97.2%,92.6%,100.0%. There was statistically difference in the achievement ratio of four groups (P lt;0.01). [CM(158.5mm]Median hospital stay and cost of blood transfusion of transcatheter closure and without tracheal intubation Hybrid groups were significantly less than other two groups (P lt;0.01). The mean cost of hospitalization in four groups were 24 802.90±360.96¥,25 095.07±437.13¥,24 856.77±445.87¥,24 853.56±673.99¥ respectively. There was no statistically difference in the cost of hospitalization(P gt;0.05). All patients were recovered and discharged without eventuality. The mean followup time were 4.64±0.32 month,4.57±0.31 month,4.49±0.28 month,4.62±0.31 month. There was no statistically difference in the followup time (P gt;0.05). The complication rate of postoperative incision were 3.32%,0.47%,6.00%,0.00%. The transcatheter closure and without tracheal intubation Hybrid groups were significantly less than other two groups (P lt;0.01). Conclusions The mean cost of hospitalization in four procedure were almost the same. The ability to close any ASD regardless of its size, location or patient’s age remains an important advantage of surgery. Transcatheter closure of ASD has the advantage of less complications. But there are limitationsto lowerweight and infant patients. OpenChest Hybrid closure offers a valuable and complementary operative approach for any age patients. Without extracorporeal circulation, it reduces trauma significantly but it always has few surgery injury. Without tracheal intubation Hybrid closure without tracheal intubation can be used for patients of any age. The cost of hospitalization is not higher than surgical treatment and transcatheter closure. The success of procedure is high and the incidence of postoperative complications is lower. It is an ideal treatment to infant ASD patients especially to lowerweight and younger infant patients.
