Completely Port-Accessed Atrial Septal Defect Patch Closure Using the da Vinci System -A case report-

The da Vinci Surgical System is a new and exciting entrant into the field of robotic technology. This system is undergoing considerable research and is being practically applied in general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, urology, and gynecology. We have previously described our experience with the da Vinci system in the laboratory setting, and we have reviewed its potential applications in otolaryngology. Here we present a case report of the first da Vinci-assisted excision of a vallecular cyst in a human. Although we initially encountered some difficulties in the setup, we were able to perform the procedure with moderate ease and without complication. The potential of the da Vinci system in otolaryngology is promising. Further research is needed to explore all of its possible uses in our field.

Possible Cause

Introduction. Sick sinus syndrome, a frequent cause of syncope, refers to a combination of symptoms caused by sinus node dysfunction. Case report. We report the case of a 38-year-old female patient presenting with recurrent syncope, who underwent surgical patch closure of atrial septal defect three years before admission. Ambulatory twenty-four-hour Holter monitoring was done capturing only sinus tachycardia. A series of examinations were warranted after admission, and recurrent syncope was found to be the result of sinus node dysfunction. This syndrome rarely occurs after surgical closure of atrial septal defect. The patient underwent permanent pacemaker implantation. Conclusion. A rigorous search for every possible cause of syncope is mandatory. A structural, multidisciplinary approach is required in order to achieve an optimal outcome.

Life Threatening

Abstract Background While the perforation of the atrial wall and aortic sinus after closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD) is rare, it’s life-threatening, with rapid progress and high mortality. To the best of our knowledge, 21 similar cases have been reported since 1976. Case presentation We report a 16-year-old male whose atrial septal defect (ASD) was closed using a 12-mm Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO). Atrial wall and aortic sinus perforation occurred 3 months after transcatheter closure, and the patient was discharged after emergency operation. He was discharged on the 12th postoperative day in good overall condition. Conclusions With this case report, we want to illustrate that although percutaneous closure of ASD is regarded as a routine procedure, we should not forget the potentially lethal complications, especially cardiac erosion. Therefore, we should carefully evaluate the risk of erosion before surgery, and careful lifelong follow-up is needed.
