Modified pericardial closure to protect cardiovascular structures during sternal reentry

A technique is described for covering the anterior surface of the heart and bypass grafts with autologous pericardium after myocardial revascularization. A trapezoidal flap is created that incorporates bilateral relaxing incisions to avoid distortion of grafts or increased risk of pericardial tampon...

Zusammenfassung:A technique is described for covering the anterior surface of the heart and bypass grafts with autologous pericardium after myocardial revascularization. A trapezoidal flap is created that incorporates bilateral relaxing incisions to avoid distortion of grafts or increased risk of pericardial tamponade.
