Severe pectus excavatum sternal deformity in a 3-month-old kitten was repaired by use of percutaneous circumcostal and circumsternal sutures to coapt the sternal deformity to an external splint made from thermoplastic material. One year after treatment, the kitten remained free of clinical signs of the disease or complications from the repair. The technique represents a conservative method of repair of pectus excavatum deformities in immature animals.
一只3个月大的小猫严重漏斗胸胸骨畸形，通过经皮肋周和胸骨周缝合，将胸骨畸形与由热塑性材料制成的外部夹板贴合来修复。治疗一年后，小猫没有出现该疾病的临床症状或修复并发症。该技术是一种修复未成熟动物漏斗胸畸形的保守方法。
