Cannulation tactics in upper ministernotomy for the surgical treatment of congenital heart disease.

INTRODUCTION
The present report describes the technique for "inverted L" upper ministernotomy with central canulation for the treatment of simple congenital cardiopathies and presents the initial results.


METHODS
Ten patients (mean age: 7 +/- 4.2 years; mean weight 29.1 +/- 13.5 kg) were operated on between January 2006 and July 2007.


RESULTS
All defects were corrected. No death was observed and no complication that required reintervention occurred.


CONCLUSION
The described technique showed to be feasible and safe for the correction of certain congenital cardiopathies, with less surgical trauma, besides the aesthetic benefit and an expectation of diminished thoracic deformity in the future.
