Figure 1 Computed tomographic scan of the chest wall. A and B, Preoperative view showing the chest wall deformity with the heart adherent to the sternum, causing severe compression of the right ventricle and right ventricular outflow tract, as well as associated with tricuspid valve stenosis from leaflet involvement. C and D, Postoperative computed tomographic scan showing the heart no longer compressed by the sternum.

Figure 2 Diagram showing the hypothesized effects of previous sternotomy on the heart in pectus excavatum. A, Normal thorax. B, Pectus excavatum (PE) without sternotomy, with the heart shifted to the left side of the chest without deformation. C, Pectus excavatum after sternotomy, with the heart compressed between the sternum and spine, resulting in right ventricular deformation.
