    This study highlights a classical surgical approach, median sternotomy with anterior lateral thoracotomy, as safe and effective for thoracic aorta aneurysms and atrial access. Experience shows its benefits outweigh theoretical concerns, making it a viable option.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Incision Techniques

    Context:

    • Classical surgical approaches are often underutilized.
    • Assessing the safety and efficacy of combined sternotomy and thoracotomy is crucial.
    • Understanding anatomical access for complex thoracic procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a combined median sternotomy and anterior lateral thoracotomy approach.
    • To determine the clinical outcomes and potential complications of this rarely used incisional technique.

    Summary:

    • A combined median sternotomy and anterior lateral thoracotomy approach was utilized in 14 patients.
    • The procedure demonstrated no reported morbidity, suggesting theoretical concerns are overstated.

  • This technique is recommended for thoracic aorta aneurysms and certain atrial/superior vena cava access scenarios.

    • Impact:

    • Provides evidence supporting the use of a classical, yet underutilized, surgical incision.
    • Offers a potentially safer and easier alternative for specific thoracic surgeries.
    • May influence surgical planning for complex aortic and cardiac procedures.
