Hybrid procedure for Poland syndrome associated with a Gerbode-type defect.
Poland syndrome and Gerbode-type defect are both very rare congenital malformations. A combination of them is extremely uncommon and no literature has reported this before. We herein present a case of this combination in a 9-year-old boy. Besides the reconstruction of the chest wall, a device closure of the Gerbode-type defect was also planned due to the risk of infective endocarditis. In order to minimize the injury, an innovative hybrid therapeutic strategy was chosen to treat two anomalies simultaneously in one incision.
