The ABC of Pectus Excavatum: a novel anatomical classification system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Method Between April 2006 March 2015, 24 patients (22 male : 2 female; Age 15 33 years) presented to our institute with symptomatic Pectus Excavatum. All presented with symptoms of dyspnoea /fatigue/dysphagia. All patients underwent Prospective evaluation of exercise and anatomical characteristics by: Spirometry; Cardiopulmonary exercise tolerance (CPEX) testing & Non-contrast axial/ sagittal CT scan of the thorax & 3D reconstruction. We propose an Anatomical classification based on 2D and 3D CT imaging:Classification A : No depression of manubrium, posterior angulation of sternal bodyClassification B: (1) Horizontal depression of manubrium and sternal body with no angulation (2) Depression of manubrium with posterior angulation of sternal bodyClassification C: Complex asymmetrical torsion of manubrium and body of sternum associated with asymmetrical distortion and depression of rib cage Results 9 patients (38%) had a Type A defect. We recommend this sternal body angulation to be corrected with Ravitch Procedure, Transverse osteotomy and midline screw fixation bar. 14 (58%) patients had a Type B2 defect, which we recommend should be repaired as a Type A defect but elevation of the whole sternum using a transverse screw fixation bar.

Pectus excavatum is the most common congenital deformity of the chest wall. The most frequently used techniques include Ravitch (costochondral resection) and Nuss (minimally invasive pectus repair of pectus excavatum [MIRPE]). The Nuss technique includes using temporary metallic bars without costochondral resection to correct the chest wall deformity. Modified MIRPE can be learned easily and pe...

BACKGROUND The Nuss procedure is a minimally invasive technique using a retrosternal bar to repair pectus excavatum. Although its technical simplicity and cosmetic advantages are remarkable, early applications have been limited to children with symmetrical pectus excavatum. We report a large single-institution experience including technical modifications to correct asymmetric configurations and...
