A vertical right axillary thoracotomy is a favorable alternative to a median sternotomy for surgical correction of common congenital heart defects in patients of all ages. The right-sided heart structures can be approached through a 4- to 5-cm vertical incision in the midaxillary line. In contrast to a midline sternotomy, osseous thoracic structures can be preserved through a muscle-sparing approach simply by retracting the ribs. Consequently, recovery is usually faster, and the resulting scar is completely hidden under the resting arm. In addition, there is no need for special equipment. The entire operation can be performed with established techniques. Operative outcome and long-term results have been shown by several research groups to be comparable to those obtained with a median sternotomy. This tutorial demonstrates the stepwise performance of an axillary thoracotomy and the extracorporeal circulation setup by the example of the closure of an atrial septal defect.
