Abstract
Atrial septal defect is one of the most common congenital cardiac anomalies in adulthood. Advances in minimally invasive surgical approaches result in an increased use of these techniques in selected patients. Atrial septal defect closure with minimal invasive surgery through right anterior thoracotomy is one of the first chosen treatment methods with reliable results and high patient satisfaction especially in young ladies.
