These data will lead to a new minimally invasive standard of care without a reduction in outcomes.", 'detailedDescription': "There is a trend in surgery, in general, toward minimal invasion. This includes the transition to laparoscopy/thoracoscopy from open procedures, as well as the reduction in incision size for open procedures. The goal of minimally invasive techniques is to reduce morbidity and length of hospital stay, with a consequent reduction in hospital cost.\n\nThere are few cardiac operations that are currently performed with minimally invasive techniques. One of these is the repair of an atrial septal defect, which can be performed though a small skin incision and partial rather than full sternotomy. Another is the ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus, which can be performed through a muscle-sparing thoracotomy rather than a full thoracotomy.\n\nBoth of these techniques minimize the scarring and the healing time required for post-operative recovery. We need to be confident that it has not affected our outcomes adversely. We need to evaluate our length of incisions based on patient weight, operative times, hospital lengths of stay, pain medicine requirements, complications and costs.\n\nHopefully, these data will lead to a new minimally invasive standard of care without a reduction in outcomes.\n\nWe will review charts before November 1, 2004 at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': "children who have undergone cardiac surgery at Children's, Egleston, before 11.1.2004", 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Children who have undergone cardiac surgery at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta\n* Surgery before November 1, 2004\n\nExclusion Criteria;\n\nthose who do not fall under the above inclusion criteria"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00229892', 'briefTitle': 'Incisions for Cardiac Surgery', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': "Children's Healthcare of Atlanta"}, 'officialTitle': 'Small Incisions for Cardiac Surgery', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '04-120'}}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '30322', 'city': 'Atlanta', 'state': 'Georgia', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': "Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston", 'geoPoint': {'lat': 33.749, 'lon': -84.38798}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Brian Kogon, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Emory University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': "Children's Healthcare of Atlanta", 'class': 'OTHER'}}}}
