Abstract:

Although minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum has been shown to have a low complication rate in large series, several case reports have documented life-threatening complications, including bleeding and cardiac perforation. We present a rare case of an arteriovenous malformation from the internal thoracic artery to the pulmonary artery caused by occlusion of the internal thoracic artery by the Nuss bar followed by an unidentified angiogenic process. The patient became symptomatic and required transcatheter coil embolization.
