Congenital left ventricular splint in an adult patient with unrepaired anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Pectus excavatum is commonly viewed as a benign condition. Associated alterations in hemodynamics are rare. We present an unusual case of right ventricular inflow obstruction and hemodynamic compromise as a consequence of pectus excavatum encountered during surgical intervention. CASE:a 15-year-old male w...
