Abstract:
Nuss bars are increasingly used for minimally invasive correction of pectus excavatum and are usually removed within 3 years of insertion. Previously, several complications related to pectus bar removal have been reported with only 1 case report of aortic haemorrhage. Herein, we report a case with life-threatening aortic haemorrhage during late removal of displaced double Nuss bars.
