Abstract

Pectus excavatum is characterized by the posterior displacement of inferior sternum and adjacent cartilages. The severity of the disease is associated with the degree of the displacement of thoracal organs and spinal deformities. Transthoracic echocardiography plays an important role for clinical evaluation of patients with pectus excavatum. The early studies regarding with pectus excavatum generally focused on left ventricular parameters, nevertheless, right ventricular volumes and dimensions were also assessed. Recently, quantitative echocardiographic parameters have been proposed for evaluating right ventricular function. In studies evaluating right ventricular function with quantitative echocardiographic parameters, significant improvements have been reported before and after surgery for pectus excavatum. Although there are several indications for pectus excavatum surgery in the literature, selecting patients with impaired right ventricular function assessed by echocardiography should maximize the effectiveness of corrective surgery

Özet

Pektus ekskavatum sternum ve alt kartilaj kostalarının posteriyora depresyonu ile oluşan bir hastalıktır. Hastalığın şiddeti, torasik organlardaki yer değiştirmenin derecesi ve omurga deformiteleri ile doğrudan ilişkilidir. Transtorasik ekokardiyografi klinik pratikte bu olguların değerlendirilmesinde önemli bir yer tutar. Ekokardiyografinin erken dönemlerinde sol ventrikül fonksiyonlarını gösteren parametrelere odaklanılmış sağ ventrikül fonksiyonlarının değerlendirmesinde ise sağ ventrikül hacimleri ve de boyutları kullanılmıştır. Son yıllarda, sağ kalbin değerlendirilmesine dair kantitatif ekokardiyografik parametreler sağ ventrikül fonksiyonlarının değerlendirilmesinde temel kabul edilmiştir. Pekstus ekskavatumlu hastaların operasyon öncesi ve sonrası sağ ventrikül fonksiyonlarının bu kantitatif ekokardiyografik parametreler ile değerlendirildiği çalışmalarda operasyon sonrası anlamlı düzelmeler bildirilmiştir. Literatürde operasyon endikasyonları çeşitlilik göstermekle birlikte hastaların seçiminde sağ ventrikül fonksiyonlarındaki ekokardiyografik bozulmanın temel alınması cerrahinin düzeltici etkisini maksimalize edecektir.
