Severe pectus excavatum, although a rare condition, is likely to be encountered by large transplant centers. The main concerns for transplant centers are the associated cardiopulmonary abnormalities along with the technical details of the transplant. We describe our experience managing a patient with severe pectus excavatum with associated cardiorespiratory abnormalities. This case report demonstrates that orthotopic cardiac transplantation through a left anterior thoracotomy is a feasible method in patients with significant displacement of the heart into the left chest.
严重漏斗胸，虽然是一种罕见病症，但大型移植中心仍有可能遇到。移植中心主要关注的是相关的心肺异常情况以及移植的技术细节。我们描述了我们治疗一名患有严重漏斗胸并伴有心肺异常患者的经验。本病例报告表明，对于心脏明显向左胸移位的患者，经左前开胸进行原位心脏移植是一种可行的方法。
