This study presents a surgical technique for simultaneous pectus excavatum repair and treatment of heart and aorta conditions. The method shows successful early and long-term outcomes in adult patients, even in emergencies.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

  • Pectus excavatum often requires surgical intervention.
  • Concomitant cardiovascular conditions can complicate pectus excavatum repair.
  • Established surgical approaches may not address simultaneous correction effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a surgical technique for simultaneous pectus excavatum repair and correction of ascending aorta, aortic arch, and heart diseases.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this combined surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • The authors detail a surgical technique applied since 1989.
  • The approach was successfully used in six consecutive adult patients.
  • The method allows for simultaneous correction of chest wall deformity and underlying cardiovascular pathology.

Main Results:

  • Favorable early and long-term results were observed in all six patients.
  • The technique provided good cosmetic outcomes and chest wall stability.
  • Successful application was demonstrated even in emergency surgical scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • Simultaneous correction of pectus excavatum and major cardiovascular diseases is feasible and effective.
  • The described surgical technique offers good cosmetic and functional results in adult patients.
  • This approach is suitable for both elective and emergency surgical interventions.
