Abstract
A frustrating experience for thoracic surgeons is the breakage of a sternal wire at the time it is being tightened to close a median sternotomy. A simple technique to repair broken sternal wires and allow continuation of the procedure without opening the sternum is described.Year: 1977 PMID: 15216090 PMCID: PMC287684
