Abstract:
There are still some controversies regarding one stage repair of pectus deformity with congenital heart disease due to probable complications after extensive resection of deformed cartilages. We performed Nuss operation with simultaneous intracardiac repair in 8 year old patient with pectus excavatum and partial atrioventricular septal defect. The result of operation was satisfactory without prolongation of operation time, bleeding or instability of chest wall.
