Short-term outcomes of atrial septal defect repair via right axillary incision in children: a single-center propensity-matched analysis

Although associated with longer CPB time, RAI may reduce surgical trauma in selected patients. Younger age and lower body weight may serve as preliminary indicators for RAI suitability.
