Hemodynamic Repercussions of the Correction (Surgical and Non Surgical) of Pectus Excavatum-type Thoracic Deformities

Hemodynamic Repercussions of the Correction (Surgical and Non Surgical) of Pectus Excavatum-type Thoracic Deformities

this non-randomized prospective study of 2 longitudinal cohorts (surgical treatment group or orthopedic treatment group), will evaluate the hemodynamic repercussions of the correction (surgical and non surgical) of pectus excavatum-type thoracic deformities by measuring the cardiac output difference before and after intervention, measured by transthoracic impedancemetry, during an exercise stress test

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients seeking treatment of a pectus excavatum
• Haller index > 3.2
• Desire for treatment
• age between 15 and 40 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cognitive impairment
• Pregnancy
• Contraindication to exercise stress test or general anesthesia
• Coagulation disorders
