Abstract

Objectives: We would like to present our experience in repairing all types of atrial septal defect at Lampang
Regional Hospital. In this study we also report the results of conventional and on-pump beating heart technique.
Methods: From January 2010 to April 2015, 124 patients underwent atrial septal defect closure. There were
91 females and 33 males, with mean age 36.2 (range, 3 months-75 years).
Results: The operation was performed with conventional technique in 45 patients compared to beating heart
in 79 patients. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 41.15 minutes in patients with conventional closure
technique without tricuspid valve repair and 32.55 minutes in patients with beating heart closure technique without
tricuspid valve repair. There was no death, no stroke and no residual shunt in all patients. The mean ICU stay was
less than 24 hours in all patients.
Conclusion: Repair of atrial septal defect at Lampang Regional Hospital is safe with no stroke or death. Repair
of atrial septal defect secundum type with beating heart under cardiopulmonary bypass technique is an alternative
technique that is also safe and can avoid ischemic-reperfusion injury.
