The correction of deep pectus excavatum, with the Nuss procedure, frequently require a series of maneuvers that is inherently dangerous. Herein we describe 10 technical modifications to prevent potential complications. These modified techniques have certain advantages and according to the authors, with these maneuvers the risk of pericardial sac, cardiac injury, bar displacement and complications during the removal of the bar could be markedly reduced.

A seven-year-old female was followed in a developmental clinic from the age of nine months due to delayed psychomotor development. The first physical examination showed a newborn with irritability and a large anterior fontanelle. A transfontanellar ultrasound was performed, revealing mild enlargement of the lateral and third ventricles.

Background: Breath-holding (BH) for cine balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) imaging is challenging for patients with impaired BH capacity. Deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) of undersampled k-space promises to shorten BHs while preserving image quality and accuracy of ventricular assessment.
Purpose: To perform a systematic evaluation of DLR of cine bSSFP images from undersampled k-space over a range of acceleration factors.

Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is an effective method for correcting pectus excavatum (PE), a congenital chest wall deformity characterized by concave depression of the sternum. In MIRPE, a long, thin, curved stainless plate (implant) is placed across the thoracic cage to correct the deformity. However, the implant curvature is difficult to accurately determine during the procedure.
