Abstract
We describe a simplified surgical procedure whereby pulmonary or other intrathoracic operations can be safely and easily performed in conjunction with cardiopulmonary bypass for indicated cardiac procedures. Transsternal bilateral anterior thoracotomy can provide excellent exposure in cases requiring concomitant attention to cardiac and pulmonary pathology.Year: 1984 PMID: 15227083 PMCID: PMC341707
