We report a case of a 20-year-old male with no prior medical history who was found to have an atrial septal defect on echocardiography following a motor vehicle accident (MVA). The patient underwent primary percutaneous defect closure using the NobleStitch EL (Heartstitch, Fountain Valley, California) cardiovascular suturing system with intra-operative Doppler echocardiogram showing no residual shunt or color flow. There were no operative complications. At five months follow-up, the patient reported no symptoms from the procedure. In the case of traumatic atrial septal defect repair, the NobleStitch EL system may be utilized as an alternative to open heart surgery.
我们报告一例20岁男性病例，该患者既往无病史，在机动车事故（MVA）后经超声心动图检查发现患有房间隔缺损。患者使用NobleStitch EL（Heartstitch，加利福尼亚州喷泉谷）心血管缝合系统进行了原发性经皮缺损闭合术，术中多普勒超声心动图显示无残余分流或彩色血流。无手术并发症。在五个月的随访中，患者报告该手术未带来任何症状。对于创伤性房间隔缺损修复，NobleStitch EL系统可作为心脏直视手术的替代方法。
