Pectus excavatum is a chest wall deformity where the breast bone sinks inward and can cause shortness of breath and chest pain.
Surgery to repair the chest wall is recommended for patients that experience pectus excavatum symptoms. CTVS thoracic surgeons specialize in total chest wall reconstruction, called a Ravitch procedure, to reshape the sternum.
