Abstract
In this issue of the Journal, Nasirov and colleagues1 steal a line from the Roman playwright Plautus to treat a young patient with Marfan syndrome with severe pectus excavatum suffering from end-stage cardiac disease. The Latin proverb Mus uni non fidit antro, or a mouse does not rely on just one hole, aptly describes the authors' creative ability to increase a very sick patient's chance of successfully receiving a lifesaving operation by simultaneously performing a modified Nuss procedure at the time of heart transplant to augment and increase intrathoracic space.
