“The Pectus Up technique arrives at IMED Valencia.” – Levante-EMV (January 2025)
Levante-EMV has reported on the launch of the Pectus Up technique at IMED Valencia, highlighting its innovative nature as a treatment to correct chest deformities.
The Ravitch technique, an open surgery, is very effective but also quite aggressive. Later, the Nuss technique was introduced, which involves placing a bar inside the chest, below the ribs. “We don’t need chest drains, we don’t enter the pleural cavity, and we don’t affect internal organs. Epidural or paravertebral anesthesia is not required. We use intravenous anesthesia, and generally, the patient is discharged in two or three days, with follow-up visits afterward,” explains Dr. Pastor.
