The kinky chest tube: a sign of entrapment following median sternotomy.

A E Berkow, B C Salo.   

Abstract

Entrapment of chest tubes under one or more sternal sutures is an uncommon complication of median sternotomy. Five cases occurred among 759 median sternotomies performed during a 2 year period. A radiographic sign of chest tube entrapment is presented. Early recognition may prevent a second surgical procedure.
