Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Many situations are encountered in cardiac surgery, especially paediatric cardiac surgery, which are associated with significant myocardial oedema. In such cases it is inadvisable or impossible to close the sternum primarily. Here we describe a simple and inexpensive technique of temporary sternotomy wound closure with a sterile blood bag.
