Abstract
Aortopexy is the treatment of choice for clinically significant tracheobronchomalacia from external vascular compression. When a marked chest depression is present, aortopexy may be less effective. We report 2 patients with pectus excavatum and vascular compression of the trachea who, despite their young age, benefited from combined Nuss bar insertion and aortopexy.
