Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) represents a procedure with a low incidence of adverse outcomes. However, 15 potentially fatal cases of MIRPE-related heart injury have been published. We report a case of cardiac perforation (CP) during MIRPE. A 12-year-old female was admitted for elective repair of a severe asymmetric pectus excavatum. Preoperative computed tomography showed a Haller index of 4.9. MIRPE was performed under bilateral video-assisted thoracoscopy. After the placement of the pectus bar, cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension and bilateral hemothorax occurred. Emergency thoracotomy without pectus bar removal showed CP. The wound sites were repaired and the pectus bar was eventually successfully implanted. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 11. After 10 months, she remains asymptomatic. Reporting rare complications is essential for accurate calculations of the true prevalence of LTCs, maintaining high alertness in pediatric surgeons.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjac538","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,27]],"date-time":"2022-11-27T21:50:06Z","timestamp":1669585806000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Cardiac
