Figure 2 A, Cardiac magnetic resonance image showing significant free wall impingement (arrow) as a result of the sternal abnormality. There is severe compression noted on the anterolateral right ventricular (RV) inflow portion. B, Intracardiac ultrasonography showing catheter position during ablation exactly at the location of sternal compression. LV, Left ventricle.

Figure 3 Anteroposterior and lateral chest radiographs taken after sternal bar correction of pectus excavatum deformity. The Nuss bar is seen across the patient’s chest and underneath the sternum. This shows that the bar is preventing sternal compression of the right ventricle. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery , e85-e87DOI: ( /j.jtcvs ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions
