NCT ID: NCT02528656 Recruiting - Pectus Excavatum Clinical Trials

Physiological Assessments During Non Operative Treatment on the Chest Wall Deformities

PECTUS
Start date: January 12, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The physiological assessment in non-operative treatment on chest wall deformities, are still unclear today. These functional benefits outweigh the aesthetic benefits associated with anatomical improvement. The functional benefits, ventilation, hemodynamic and neurologic, have never been evaluated. Assessment of Effects on parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system, global health criterion measured by noninvasive methods. Anatomic evaluation, between the initial and final assessment by objective measures 1) of the chest wall by MRI, and 2) of the heart by echocardiography. Noninvasive physiological assessment at rest and during exercise in respiratory function exploration flows and volumes, cardiac function by flow measurement, and overall metabolic function test effort (VO2max). Subjective assessment of functional gain between the initial and final balance sheet, based on EVA scales, valued by patients, parents and doctors.

NCT ID: NCT02163265 Completed - Pectus Excavatum Clinical Trials

Impact of Surgical Treatments of Thoracic Deformation on Cardiopulmonary Functions

Start date: July 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pectus excavatum or carinatum are the most common congenital deformations of the ventral thoracic wall. Several different surgical methods with different techniques to correct these deformations have been described. Some clinicians recommend a correction of the deformation to improve the cardiopulmonary efficiency. Other think that the correction has a more an aesthetic than a physiological benefit. The aim of our prospective study is to evaluate whether patients with PE or PC are suffering preoperatively from a cardiopulmonary limitation at rest and under physical stress and if there is a change of cardiopulmonary function after the surgical correction.

NCT ID: NCT01692392 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Health-related Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Pectus Carinatum

HRQoL
Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of the study is to assess changes in health-related quality of life in patients undergoing surgical correction of pectus carinatum. In addition, the study assessed long-term effects of surgical intervention in relation to the development of persistent postoperative pain and / or sensory disturbances in the surgical field.
