摘要：

A new method is described for stabilizing dehiscence or instability of median sternotomy incisions using stainless steel retention sutures. The method has been used successfully in patients who had disruption of the sternum following open-heart surgery and resulted in no complications. It is recommended also as a preventive measure for closure of the sternum in elderly, debilitated patients with a fragile sternum and with prolonged low cardiac output after operation. © 1979, The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
