Summary:Background: To compare the outcomes of totally thoracoscopic technique (TTS) vs. right anterolateral thoracotomy technique (RALT) in female patients undergoing minimal invasive atrial septal defect (ASD) correction.Methods: From March 2011 to January 2013, 125 female patients underwent minimally invasive atrial septal defect closure, of whom 62 patients were in the TTS group and 63 were in the RALT group.Results: Procedures were performed successfully in all patients without in-hospital mortality or major complications. cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time were 48.95 ± 15.63 min in TTS group, 31.4 ± 8.04 min in RALT group (p
