Recent efficacy of modified right vertical infra-axillary thoracotomy for ventricular septal defects in pediatric patients with younger age and Low body weight

ventricular septal defect repair by MRVIAT in younger children with low body weight is less invasive. It provides good incision exposure, does not affect pulmonary function, reduces intraoperative bleeding and postoperative hospital stay and costs, and facilitates rapid recovery. This procedure is safe and effective and can be considered an alternative to median sternotomy.
