INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to identify risk factors for the development of post-sternotomy mediastinitis and sternal dehiscence without infection. PATIENTS AND METHOD The records of all patients who presented with sternal abnormalities between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2003 were reviewed retrospectively, and potential risk factors were examined. Patients were ...
متن کاملUse of titanium plate fixation system in late sternal dehiscence repair
Sternal instability with mediastinitis is a very serious complication after median sternotomy. Sternal dehiscence repair together with debridement of the infected tissue is the mainstay of therapy where various modalities are employed. Here, we report the use of titanium plate for sternum stabilization in a patient with sternal dehiscence and superficial wound infection.
متن کاملSternal dehiscence after cardiac surgery and ACE type 1 inhibition.
Posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT) has been frequently used for non-cardiac thoracic surgery. Although this procedure provides excellent access for lung cancer surgery, it requires the transec-tion of large muscles which contributes to postoperative pulmonary insufficiency and postoperative chest pain. In an attempt to decrease these shortcomings, minimally invasive thoracotomy procedures, such a...
متن کاملThe laparoscopically harvested omental flap and transverse plate fixation for sternal reconstruction in complicated sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery
Methods Between 2010 and 2011, 6 patients with type IV deep sternal wound infection underwent a sternal reconstruction with a laparoscopically harvested omental flap and transverse plate fixation. The median age of the cohort (1 female and 5 males), was 72.5 years (range: 4978 years). In 5 patients, a bilateral internal thoracic artery had been used. Considerable preoperative risk factors were ...
