Abstract
Pectus excavatum (PE) is the most common, congenital deformity of the anterior chest wall and represents around 90 % of all anomalies of the anterior chest wall. PE has been very well investigated over the years with a vast amount of studies being produced, still, no consensus has yet been reached on the direct impact of PE on cardiopulmonary function.
