Clinical comparison of robotic minimally invasive surgery and transcatheter interventional occlusion for adult secundum atrial septal defect

2016 
Objective  To assess the safety and efficiency of robotic minimally invasive surgery and transcatheter interventional occlusion for treatment of adult secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) by comparing the early and recent postoperative follow-up results of the two minimally invasive surgery. Methods  Thirty adult patients with secundum ASD, who admitted to the General Hospital of PLA from Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2014 and received treatment of da Vinci Surgical System, were recruited as TEASD-R group, meanwhile, another 30 adult patients who received transcatheter interventional occlusion were recruited under the strict 1:1 criterion as TIASD-O group. The early postoperative complications, in-hospital conditions, recent postoperative follow-up results and the quality of life 30d and 6 months after operation were compared and retrospectively analyzed between the two groups. Results  The success rates of surgery were 100% in the both groups, no early and recent postoperative complications (residual shunt, pericardial effusion, cerebral infarction, peripheral vascular embolism, new arrhythmia, etc.) were found in TEASD-R group. While some of corresponding complications existed in TISAD-O group, and the differences were of statistical significance (P<0.05) between the two groups in the incidence of postoperative new arrhythmia, tricuspid incompetence and pulmonary hypertension, as well as in the early size of right atrium and in-hospital time. SF-36 quality of life questionnaire showed that the difference of somatic pain 30d after operation was of statistical significance (P<0.05) between the two groups, but the difference disappeared 6 months after operation. Conclusion  Robotic minimally invasive surgery for adult secundum ASD is feasible, safe and efficacious since no postoperative complications occurred such as tricuspid incompetence and pulmonary hypertension, but the longer operative and inhosptial time are the shortages of the operation.
