A patient with severe congenital pulmonary stenosis who underwent pulmonary valvulectomy is reported. Acute cardiac compression and left ventricular failure developed in the immediate postoperative period. Because of extreme cardiac dilatation, the chest wall could not be closed. A technique of secondary sternal closure is described.Entities:
