“…Thus, both conventional surgical treatment and percutaneous occlusion have their advantages and disadvantages ( 12 , 13 ). In recent years, numerous cardiac surgery centers have experimented with minimally invasive transthoracic occlusion, combining the features of both percutaneous occlusion and surgical treatment ( 14 , 15 ). Transthoracic occlusion avoids the need for cardiopulmonary bypass and allows for rapid postoperative recovery.…”

(2) The incision cannot be made too close to the left border of the sternum to avoid injuring the left internal mammary artery [ 18 ]. The exact location of the incision is determined according to the chest film and TTE.…”
