摘要
The minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum has become increasingly popular. Life-threatening complications have included bleeding and cardiac perforation. There have been a number of delayed cases of bleeding, many of which never demonstrated a clear source. We present a case of a delayed acute bleed from the Nuss bar eroding into the internal mammary artery 4 months after bar placement. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Inc.
