Intrapericardial migration of dislodged sternal struts as late complication of open pectus excavatum repairs
UNLABELLED We present a case of sternal steel strut dislodgement and migration in a patient undergoing Ravitch repair for pectus excavatum (PE) 37 years ago. Broken struts perforated the right ventricle and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and additionally migrated into the left upper lobar bronchus.Dislodged sternal struts represent rare complications after surgical repair of patients su...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Compression Mimicking Brugada-Like Electrocardiogram in a Patient with Recurrent Pectus Excavatum
Pectus excavatum (PE), the most common skeletal anomaly of chest wall, sometimes requires a surgical correction but recurrent PE is not uncommon. PE usually has a benign course; however, this chest deformity may be associated with symptomatic tachyarrhythmias due to mechanical compression. We report a case of a patient with recurrent PE after surgical correction presenting with palpitation and ...
متن کاملThe effect of right ventricular compression on cardiac function in pediatric pectus excavatum
Methods All CMR studies performed for clinical evaluation of pediatric pectus excavatum at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. CMR analysis included evaluation of Haller index, left ventricular (LV) and RV ejection fractions (EF), and indexed LV and RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes. The site of maximal compression of the right ventricle (no compression, atrioventricular (AV)...

AIMS To investigate the right ventricular (RV) strain in pectus excavatum (PE) patients using cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking (CMR TT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty consecutive pectus excavatum patients, 10 to 32 years of age (mean age 15 ± 4 years), underwent routine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) including standard measures of chest geometry and cardiac size and function...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Compression Observed in Echocardiography from Pectus Excavatum Deformity
Pectus excavatum exists as varying anatomic deformities and compression of the right heart by the chest wall can lead to patient symptoms including dyspnea and chest pain with exertion. Echocardiography can be difficult but is critical to the evaluation and diagnosis of this patient population. Modifying standard views such as biplane transthoracic and 3-D transesophageal views may be necessary...
