Tracheal injury detected immediately after median sternotomy by inexperienced surgeons: two case reports

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2018
Background Although median sternotomy is standard during cardiac surgery, the procedure is associated with a risk of injury to mediastinal organs. Here, we discuss two cases of tracheal injury following median sternotomy during cardiac surgery.

Chylothorax following median sternotomy [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 1996
AbstractReports of chylothorax (CT) following median sternotomy are rare, amounting so far to 16 cases in the English literature, of which 6 were cases of postcoronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This report deals with an additional case of a 70‐year‐old woman who developed left pleural chylous effusion following CABG.
