R P Grunwald

    The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
    |November 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A novel surgical technique allows for safe and quick sternal reentry by dissecting retrosternal tissues from the sternum under direct vision. This method enhances patient safety during thoracic procedures.
