Sternal fracture has been observed in approximately 10% of patients with blunt chest trauma, with the most common mechanism of injury being motor vehicle accidents.1 Isolated sternal fractures most often have a benign course, but can rarely cause secondary cardiac injury.2 Patients with chest trauma typically undergo radiograph imaging in the emergency department to help rule out acute life-threatening cardiopulmonary injuries such as aortic dissection, tension pneumothorax, and cardiac tamponade, among other pathologies. Typically, these imaging techniques involve a portable chest radiograph, followed by a computed tomography (CT) of the chest if applicable.3 Standard AP chest radiographs have a low sensitivity for diagnosing sternal fractures, with the majority of fractures being identified by lateral chest radiograph or CT (Figure 2). Because lateral chest radiographs are typically not performed in the acute trauma workup, many sternal fractures are not diagnosed until later in the trauma ...

A sternal fracture is a fracture of the sternum (the breastbone), located in the center of the chest. The injury, which occurs in 5-8% of people who experience significant blunt chest trauma, may occur in vehicle accidents, when the still-moving chest strikes a steering wheel or dashboard or is injured by a seatbelt. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, commonly known as CPR, has also been known to cause thoracic injury, including sternum and rib fractures. Sternal fractures may also occur as a pathological fracture, in people who have weakened bone in their sternum, due to another disease process. Sternal fracture can interfere with breathing by making it more painful; however, its primary significance is that it can indicate the presence of serious associated internal injuries, especially to the heart and lungs. Vehicle collisions are the usual cause of sternal fracture; the injury is estimated to occur in about 3% of auto accidents. The chest of a driver who is not wearing a seat belt may strike ...

RESULTS In a 10-year-period, 64 patients treated with a thoracic cage injury met inclusion criteria. 122 patients were included into the control cohort. In patients with a concomitant sternal fracture, a highly unstable fracture (AO/OTA type B or C) of the thoracic spine was detected in 62.5% and therefore, it was significantly more frequent compared to the control group (36.1%). If in patients with a thoracic cage injury sternal fracture and T1-T12 fracture were located in the same segment, a rotationally unstable type C fracture was observed more frequently. The displacement of the sternal fracture did not influence the severity of the concomitant T1-T12 fracture ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - The use of transesophageal echocardiography to guide sternal division for cardiac operations via mini-sternotomy. AU - Sardari, Fred F.. AU - Schlunt, Michelle L.. AU - Applegate, Richard Lee. AU - Gundry, Steven R.. PY - 1997. Y1 - 1997. N2 - Cardiac surgery utilizing the mini-sternotomy technique offers many advantages, including lessened pain and hospitalization. Mid-line upper sternotomy (or mini-sternotomy) can provide adequate exposure of the ascending aorta, the aortic root, the right atrial appendage and the dome of the left atrium. Inherent in providing adequate exposure is the level at which the sternum is Td off. The lower aspect of the sternotomy is Td off at the second, third, or fourth intercostal space depending on the patients anatomy. We describe a technique that uses transesophageal echocardiography to determine the precise location for Ting off the sternotomy, rather than approximating the sternotomy site by physical exam and chest radiograph. This ...

Use of minimally invasive approaches for isolated aortic valve or ascending aorta surgery is increasing. However, total arch replacement or aortic root repair through a minimally invasive incision is rare. This study was performed to report our initial experience with surgery of the ascending aorta with complex procedures through an upper mini-sternotomy approach. We retrospectively analyzed 80 patients who underwent ascending aorta replacement combined with complex procedures including hemi-arch, total arch, and aortic root surgeries from September 2010 to May 2018. Using standard propensity score-matching analysis, 36 patients were matched and divided into 2 groups: the upper mini-sternotomy group (n = 18) and the median sternotomy group (n = 18). The preoperative assessment revealed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Hospital mortality occurred in one patient (2.8%). The mini-sternotomy group showed a longer cross-clamping time (160 ± 38 vs. 135 ± 36 min, p = 0.048)

In cardiac surgery, sternal wound infection (SWI) continues to be one of the most serious postoperative complications. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have become the most common causative agents of SWI. Prophylaxis with intravenous beta-lactam antibiotics (cephalosporins or in Sweden most commonly isoxazolyl penicillins) is routinely practised. However, many CoNS species are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. Vancomycin is often the only effective antibiotic available for treatment of these infections, but its use for routine prophylaxis is strongly discouraged because of the risk of increasing the selection of resistant bacteria.. The aim of this work was to develop and evaluate a new technique for antibiotic prophylaxis in cardiac surgery consisting of application of drug eluting collagen-gentamicin sponges in the sternal wound in addition to conventional intravenous antibiotics.. The antibiotic concentrations in the wound and serum achieved by routine intravenous dicloxacillin ...

The Sternum, also named as the breastbone, is the bone that connects the ribs in front of the heart. Broken sternums are hurting and very slow to heal, with bed rest and anti-inflammatory medication being the most effective treatment. In cases of rigorous fracture, surgery may be needed along with a monitoring of the heart through electrocardiograms. If the sternal fracture interferes with breathing, mechanical ventilation through intubation may also be needed to lessen pressure from the lungs on the Sternum. Take a doctors appointment immediately if a sternal fracture is suspected. Take anti-inflammatory medication to reduce the pressure on the broken area of chest along with pain-relieving medication to reduce the stress caused by the pain associated with the fracture.. ...

The patient presented to her primary care physician 3 months prior with an inverted left nipple and a palpable lump that was highly suggestive of neoplasm on mammogram. An ultrasound-guided core biopsy revealed an infiltrating solid-type ductal carcinoma in situ. The estimated size of the mass was approximately 1 cm. She had no symptoms suggestive of metastatic disease. 1

A local wound infection developed in a 42-year-old female patient after replacement of ascending aorta, aortic arch and supra-aortic vessels, following aortic dissection. Because of the high risk of infection due to the vascular prosthesis and its location at the upper part of the sternum, a right pectoral muscular flap, detached from the humerus and vascularized by medial perforators originating from the internal mammary artery, was isolated. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remains well 16 months after the operation.

Our objective was to identify the incidence of and risk factors for SCF, and to evaluate long-term survival. METHODS: A total of 12,297 patients underwent sternotomy for cardiac surgery between January 1999 and December 2008, and 32 patients were diagnosed as having SCF during follow-up. Risk factors were identified with multivariate analysis and survival was compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS: The cumulative incidence of SCF at one year was 0.23%. There was no significant difference in mean time from sternal closure after cardiac surgery to intervention for SCF with (n = 9) or without (n = 23) preceding sternal wound infection (SWI); 6.1 +/- 4.2 versus 6.9 +/- 4.6 months, (p = ns).

The median sternotomy is the most common surgical approach for cardiac surgery. Deep sternal wound infection is a fatal complication after median sternotomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Bilateral-pectoral major muscle advancement flap combined with Vacuum-assisted closure therapy on rehabilitation for the treatment of deep sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery. Between January 2016 to January 2018, 21 patients (10 males, 11 females) with deep sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery underwent Bilateral-pectoral major muscle advancement flap combined with Vacuum-assisted closure therapy. These patients were followed-up 12 months postoperative. The patient characteristics, duration of vacuum-assisted closure therapy, the mean hospital stay, postoperative complications, long-term survival of patients were retrospectively analyzed. Most patients undergone 1-3 times vacuum-assisted closure treatment sessions before closure. All patients were cured to discharge

If your child develops a sunken chest - referred to as pectus excavatum - chances are that another family member has had the congenital condition too. While pectus excavatum causes are unknown, the condition tends to run in families; 25 percent of patients discover a family history of others with funnel chest (also known as caved-in chest).. The surgical experts at Childrens Mercy are recognized leaders in repairing pectus excavatum. Our surgery success rate is 99 percent.. The condition is the most common deformity in childrens chest walls and can become visible (the only actual pectus excavatum symptoms) anytime from infancy through puberty. It occurs when several ribs and the sternum (breastbone) dont grow normally, causing the sternum to be pressed inward and resulting in a depression that is visible when looking at your childs chest. The depression can range in size and depth, being deeper on one side, causing the breastbone to be curved and, in severe cases, pushing the sternum to ...

57 years old male developed chronic sternal wound sinus following CABG and required multiple courses of antibiotics. His risk factors of wound infection included bilateral mammary arteries harvest, long term smoker, use of systemic immunosuppressant and topical steroid creams for severe dermatitis. He firstly underwent one culpable sternal wire removal 6 months following CABG. Limited strategy was used to minimise wound infection risk in patient with severe skin conditions. Following another 6 months he developed further sinus lower to the previous one, therefore decision made to proceed with all sternal wires removal. He underwent elective sternal wound debridement, excising previous sternotomy scar and removing all remaining sternal wires. Intraoperatively he was found to have bone involving, and precise wound debridement was performed including debridement of unhealthy bone segment, living around 3x1x0.5cm sternal defect without penetration to mediastinum or disturbing sternal stability.

The use of antethoracic jejunum as an esophageal substitute was proposed about a century ago by Wullstein.1 In 1907, the first 2-stage bypass of the esophagus with an isolated segment of jejunum was performed by Roux on an 11-year-old boy with caustic stricture; by 1952, 12 children had survived antethoracic jejunal reconstruction at Boston Childrens Hospital.2 The presternal isoperistaltic colon or jejunal bypass was favored for esophageal substitution in the prethoracotomy era through the 1940s.3 Bypass surgery was later superseded by retrosternal or intrathoracic reconstruction.4,5 Aspiration, not cosmesis, is the major problem in the rare adult patients who are long-term survivors after a presternal jejunal bypass. Stricture at the site of gastric anastomosis and redundancy of the transposed antethoracic jejunal loop may progressively cause an inability to eat and pulmonary fibrosis.. ...

In 1957, the introduction of the median sternotomy to allow access to intrathoracic organs by Julian et al revolutionized the field of thoracic surgery. Since this landmark introduction, sternal wound infection and dehiscence have been reported to occur in approximately 0.

Pectus excavatum is the most common congenital deformity of the anterior chest wall, in which an abnormal formation of the rib cage gives the chest a caved-in or sunken appearance. Today, the surgical correction of this deformity is carried out in children and adults through Nuss technic, which consists in the placement of a prosthetic bar under the sternum and over the ribs. Although this technique has been shown to be safe and reliable, not all patients have achieved adequate cosmetic outcome. This often leads to psychological problems and social stress, before and after the surgical correction. This paper targets this particular problem by presenting a method to predict the patient surgical outcome based on pre-surgical imagiologic information and chest skin dynamic modulation. The proposed approach uses the patient pre-surgical thoracic CT scan and anatomical-surgical references to perform a 3D segmentation of the left ribs, right ribs, sternum and skin. The technique encompasses three ...
