  • Title: Median sternotomy closure: a simple inexpensive effective technique.
    Author: Randecker H.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2005 Dec; 80(6):2393-4. PubMed ID: 16305927.
    Abstract:
    A technique of median sternotomy closure that improves the usual rates of sternal infection, dehiscence, and re-exploration for hemorrhage is presented. This closure adds minimal time and expense to the case and diminishes the amount of blood loss and transfusion in the postoperative period.
