Technical Modifications to Prevent Massive Hemothorax Following Sternal Plating

Technical Modifications to Prevent Massive Hemothorax Following Sternal Plating

ABSTRACT We report two cases of life‐threatening massive hemothorax after titanium plate fixation. We propose a modification of this technique using smaller plates that span the sternal bone but do not encroach upon the cartilage of the ribcage. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12594 (J Card Surg 2015;30:691–693)...
