Positive Results

In recent decades, new information has arisen regarding sternal healing and extended indications for using rigid plate fixation in patients during cardio-thoracic procedures. Three randomized controlled multicenter clinical trials recently demonstrated positive results after rigid plate fixation, including reduced sternal complications and decreased length of hospital stay. However, redo-sternotomy after sternal reconstruction utilizing rigid fixation has not been previously delineated in surgical literature. This case highlights the technical challenges of performing a median sternotomy for cardiac surgery after sternal reconstruction with bilateral longitudinal plating.
