Abstract:
Sternal re-entry adds supplementary risk to cardiac re-operations and it may represent the most important factor in the entire hazard estimation. A new anti-adhesive substance, based on a polyethylene glycol material, has been proposed to solve this problem. Results and surgical observations at chest re-entry in five patients treated with this synthetic polymer are herein discussed.
