Cardiac compression due to closure of the median sternotomy in open heart surgery.

Riahi M, Tomatis LA, Schlosser RJ, Bertolozzi E, Johnston DW.

Abstract

Following open heart surgery, approximation of the median sternotomy can compress the heart and produce cardiac tamponade. A proposed new technique to eliminate this compression by sternal traction is presented.
