Impact of Surgical Treatments of Thoracic Deformation on Cardiopulmonary Functions

NCT02163265 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 34

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pectus excavatum or carinatum are the most common congenital deformations of the ventral thoracic wall. Several different surgical methods with different techniques to correct these deformations have been described.

Some clinicians recommend a correction of the deformation to improve the cardiopulmonary efficiency. Other think that the correction has a more an aesthetic than a physiological benefit.

The aim of our prospective study is to evaluate whether patients with PE or PC are suffering preoperatively from a cardiopulmonary limitation at rest and under physical stress and if there is a change of cardiopulmonary function after the surgical correction.
