Median sternotomy closure with running wire: a simplified method.
Abstract
A method of median sternotomy closure which utilizes running wire is described here. We believe this method shortens the surgical time involved in closing the chest and also that it is a safe method which provides significant saving of wire material so that it can be accomplished generally with one No. 20 stainless steel wire.
