Interlocking Sternotomy: Initial Experience
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2004An interlocking sternotomy using a lazy-S-shaped incision was performed in 91 patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures (group A). The results were compared with those of 77 patients (group B) who underwent a standard sternotomy by the same surgical team.
