Median Sternotomy Dehiscence [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1978 Sternal dehiscence requiring reoperation occurred in 36 out of 4,531 patients who had a sternotomy incison within an eight-year period. Twisted sternal wire sutures were used for the first four years and a crimped steel plate fixation was used during the second four years with a marked and significant decrease in the incidence of dehiscence from 17 out

Sternotomy is considered to be the gold standard incision in cardiac surgery, resulting in low failure rates and excellent proven long-term outcomes. It can also be used in thoracic surgery for mediastinal, bilateral pulmonary or lower trachea and main stem bronchus surgery.

Mucormycosis of a Median Sternotomy Wound
Cardiovascular Surgery, 1994Mucormycosis is an unusual complication of cardiothoracic surgery. The fungi may infect the sternotomy wound causing a progressive gangrene or seed the implanted prosthetic valve or graft resulting in endocarditis or graft failure. There have been six previous reports of mucormycosis following cardiothoracic surgical procedures.
