Abstract

The author reported a 38-year old Thai woman who presented with large atrial septal defect (ASD) secundum with significant left-to-right shunt and mild form of asymmetrical pectus excavatum of lower sternum. Minimally invasive ASD closure was performed via ministernotomy and pectus excavatum was repaired within a single setting by modified Ravitch’s technique. The surgical outcome was satisfied. This technique could be used in Lampang Hospital or the incapability of percutaneous closure with occluder device. It also reduced the complications of standard open heart technique with better cosmetic result.
