Abstract

Nuss operation as a method for correction of pectus excavatum is safe and satisfactory, but its complication presents pneumothorax, displaced bar, wound infection, pericarditis, pleural effusion, hemothorax, cardiac injury etc. We report a rare case of acute ascending aortic rupture after displaced and adhered Nuss bar removal. The patient was a 30-years old man who received Nuss operation 3 years ago. Nuss bar was removed without resistance but massively bled at both operation wound, so immediately femoro-femoral CPB and median sternotomy was done and repaired proximal aortic arch under deep hypothermic total circulatory arrest. The patient was discharged without complication at postoperative 13 day.

흉벽 기형의 일종인 누두흉의 수술방법인 Nuss 술식은 비교적 안전하고 교정 만족도가 높아 최근 많이 이용되는 방법이며 합병증으로는 기흉, 막대 편위, 창상 감염, 심낭염, 흉막 삼출, 혈흉, 심장 천공 등이 있다. 본원에서는 30세 남자 환자에서 Nuss 수술 3년 후 막대 편위로 인한 제거 수술 중 발생한 급성 흉부대동맥 손상을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다. 편위된 막대는 별 저항 없이 뽑혔으나 양측 수술 창을 통해 동맥혈이 뿜어져 나와 양손으로 출혈을 막고 신속하게 대퇴동-정맥 환류로 체외 순환을 시행하면서 정중 흉골절개를 가하고 초저온 순환 정지 하에 대동맥궁 기시부의 열상 부위를 봉합하였다. 환자는 수술 후 13일째 별다른 문제 없이 퇴원하였다.
