Objective To summarize the experience chest small incision closure of atrial septal defects treatment,evaluation of the efficacy and safety of operation.Methods Eight patients with secondary pore pathogenesy,atrial septum defect size 16-45 mm,take right next to the sternum surgery incision between 3 or 4 ribs 3-4 cm,in the cardiac ultrasound guided into occluder.Results All successful surgery,no postoperative shunt and abnormal,1 huge successful closure of atrial septal defect in 45mm.Conclusion After transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect with small incision in the chest,easy,small trauma,recover fast,safe and reliable.

BACKGROUNDIt is desirable to minimize the risk of adverse radiation effects associated with percutaneous coronary intervention. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of prolonging the interval between coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention on X-ray-induced DNA double-strand breaks in blood lymphocytes using γ-H2AX immunofluorescence microscopy.
METHODSBlood samples of eight patients were taken before the first exposure to ionizing radiation, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours after the last exposure to determine the γ-H2AX foci repair kinetics. Fifty-eight patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were randomized to an intermittent radiation exposure group and a continuous radiation exposure group. Blood samples were taken before coronary angiography and 15 minutes after the last exposure. By enumerating γ-H2AX foci, the impact of prolonging the interval on DNA double-strand breaks was investigated. Student t-test was used to compare the difference in DNA double-strand breaks between the two groups.
RESULTSAn increase in foci was found in all patients received percutaneous coronary intervention. The maximum number of γ-H2AX foci was found 10-20 minutes after the end of the last exposure. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in γ-H2AX foci at baseline. On average there were (0.79 ± 0.15) γ-H2AX foci induced by interventional X-rays per lymphocyte in the continuous radiation exposure group and (0.66 ± 0.21) in the intermittent radiation exposure group after exposure (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSA significant number of γ-H2AX foci develop following the percutaneous coronary intervention procedures. The number of X-ray-induced DNA double-strand breaks may be decreased by prolonging the interval time between coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention to 30 minutes.
