Pericardium effectively closes atrial septal defects. A new technique allows its use without chemical pretreatment, minimizing handling issues like edge curling.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Pericardium is a suitable autograft for cardiac repairs.
  • Untreated pericardium presents handling challenges due to edge curling.
  • Glutaraldehyde treatment improves handling but requires chemical processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel technique for using pericardium to close atrial septal defects.
  • To overcome the handling difficulties of untreated pericardium.
  • To eliminate the need for chemical pretreatment.

Main Methods:

  • A surgical technique for atrial septal defect closure using pericardium.
  • Focus on minimizing tissue handling during the procedure.
  • No chemical pretreatment of the pericardial graft.

Main Results:

  • Successful closure of atrial septal defects using pericardium.
  • The described technique mitigates edge curling issues.
  • The procedure requires minimal assistance and handling.

Conclusions:

  • Pericardium is a viable and effective material for atrial septal defect closure.
  • The novel technique simplifies the use of pericardium without pretreatment.
  • This method offers a practical solution for cardiac surgeons.
