Cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with pectus excavatum: impact of thoracic surgery on cardiac function - a follow- up-study
Background Pectus excavatum (PE) as the most common anterior chest deformity is characterized by sternal depression with corresponding leftward displacement and rotation of the heart which is troublesome for assessment by ultrasound. Therefore CMR plays a growing role in preoperative evaluation. Indication for surgical correction is based on a diameter-based assessment of the thorax (Haller-Ind...
متن کاملSurgical correction of pectus excavatum and carinatum.
The author presents three decades of experience in the management of anterior chest wall deformities. During this period more than 800 operations were performed on patients with pectus excavatum and carinatum. In this series, there was no death and serious complications were rare. The author believes that the principles on which surgical treatment of pectus excavatum should be based are as foll...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with pectus excavatum compared with normal controls
PURPOSE To assess cardiothoracic structure and function in patients with pectus excavatum compared with control subjects using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). METHOD Thirty patients with pectus excavatum deformity (23 men, 7 women, age range: 14-67 years) underwent CMR using 1.5-Tesla scanner (Siemens) and were compared to 25 healthy controls (18 men, 7 women, age range 18-50...
متن کاملAortic valve-sparing operation after correction of heart displacement due to pectus excavatum using Nuss procedure in a Marfan syndrome patient.
Cardiovascular surgery in the setting of chest wall deformities is a clinical challenge. Pectus excavatum, for example, can cause heart displacement to the left thoracic cavity, following the poor operative field. This report highlights a case in which a successful aortic valve-sparing operation via conventional median sternotomy after correction of the heart displacement due to pectus excavatu...
متن کاملEarly results following the Nuss operation for pectus excavatum--a single-institution experience of 383 patients.
The prevalence of pectus excavatum is low but many patients are disabled from this thoracic deformity. The Nuss operation is a well-established surgical correction, however, until recently it has been rarely used in Europe. We have performed the Nuss operation regularly between 2001 and 2006 where a total of 383 patients were operated on for pectus excavatum. The indication for surgery was disa...
