Objective:To introduce the clinical experiences of repairing ventricular septal defect through right subaxillary minithoracotomy and to evaluate it’s clinical effect.Methods:46 cases of VSD were repaired through right subaxillary minithoracotomy.The sizes of the defects varied from 0.4~0.8cm in diameter and all of them were membranous or conventricular defects.The average age was 7.1 ys.Results:There was no operative death or complication.The lenth of incision varied from 5~10cm.Cardiopulmonary bypass time were 21~42 minutes.Postoperative hospitalized time were 6 to 10 days.Conclusion:Repairing of ventricular septal defect through subaxillary minithoracotomy have the advantages of minimal trauma
