Abstract
We describe our technique for performing direct thoracoscopic closure of a congenital partial pericardial defect, which was successfully employed in a 15-year-old boy. This is the first such report of a procedure that is noninvasive and may therefore become the treatment of choice for patients with a small congenital pericardial defect.Entities:
