Abstract:

Sternal dehiscence after median sternotomy in cardiac surgery, especially in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) patients in which both Internal Mammary Arteries (IMA) have been utilized, is a rare but serious complication that can have significant adverse effect on quality of life and morbidity. We report a case of complex redo sternal reconstruction using moldable titanium bars and rib clips (Strasbourg Thoracic Osteosyntheses System - STRATOS™; MedXpert GmbH, Heitersheim, Germany), transposition of the greater omentum, bone grafting and advancement of pectoralis muscle flaps. This was performed in a patient with recurrent sternal dehiscence after CABG, which resulted in symptomatic non-union and a large sternal defect.

Keywords:
