ABSTRACT
Nuss operation as a method for correction of pectus excavatum is safe and satisfactory, but its complication presents pneumothorax, displaced bar, wound infection, pericarditis, pleural effusion, hemothorax, cardiac injury etc. We report a rare case of acute ascending aortic rupture after displaced and adhered Nuss bar removal. The patient was a 30-years old man who received Nuss operation 3 years ago. Nuss bar was removed without resistance but massively bled at both operation wound, so immediately femoro-femoral CPB and median sternotomy was done and repaired proximal aortic arch under deep hypothermic total circulatory arrest. The patient was discharged without complication at postoperative 13 day.
