Transcatheter closure vs totally endoscopic robotic surgery for atrial septal defect closure: A single ‐center experience

Robotic surgery provides a similar complication risk that can be comparable to the transcatheter approach as well as patient comfort and cosmetic advantage over the other surgical techniques.
