“…Ravitch's (1951) patient had atrial fibrillation, as had a patient seen by Edeikei and Wolferth (1932). Schaub and Wegmann (1954) noted abnormal cardiac rhythms in 13 of a series of 108 patients with funnel chest (an incidence of 12%);' these included atrial ectopics-(5 cases), monofocal right ventricular ectopics (3 cases), nodal rhythm (2 cases), supraventricular tachycardia (2 cases), and one patient who had periods of sinus arrest with nodal escape beats. We conclude that in the case reported here the transient sternal depression was due to prolonged bandaging of the chest, and.-suggest that the associated cardiac arrhythmia resulted from the extreme distortion of the thoracic cage.…”

“…Right ventricular pressures have been recorded (Lyons, Zuhdi, and Kelly, 1955). Electrocardiographic (Dressler and Roesler, 1950;Martins de Oliveira, Sambhi, and Zimmerman, 1958;Schaub and Wegmann, 1954) and angiocardiographic (Garusi and D'Ettorre, 1964) studies have been performed, and also measurement of pulmonary function (Orzalesi and Cook, 1965;Polgar and Koop, 1963).…”

The deformity of pectus excavatum is caused by a negative pressure in the anterior mediastinum sucking in the body of the sternum. This is usually due to the heart lying on the left side, leaving the mediastinum empty so that the sternum and costal cartilages are sucked in to fill the empty space. The operation consists of excising the deformed cartilages, mobilizing the sternum, and suturing the pericardial sac into a central position which corrects the deformity.Pectus excavatum, funnel chest, depressed sternum, and chonechondrosternon (Ochsner and DeBakey, 1939;Ochsner and Ochsner, 1966) are pseudonyms describing the same deformity of which the aetiology remains unknown and open to speculation. Brodkin (1953) and Chin (1957) blame the xiphoid origin of the diaphragm pulling the lower part of the sternum backwards. Mullard (1967) considers it is due to failure of osteogenesis and chondrogenesis of the anterior chest wall. Brown (1939) described the pathological changes of the chest wall in advanced pectus excavatum but offered no explanation for its causation.The diverse ways of correcting the deformity prove that no method is entirely satisfactory. Many authors recommend a rigid internal or external splint (

“…As a seriously deformed funnel chest may lead to troubles of the functions of the lungs and heart (Wegmann and Schaub, 1953;Schaub and Wegmann, 1954) operations should be limited to such cases only. Operating from a cosmetic point of view is not justified.…”

“…This procedure was applied by Dailey (1950), Sweet (1944) and Brodkin (1948). Rotation or removing the sternum is hardly practised today.…”
