Date of Publication: 2015. | Journal: | Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery | Abstract: | This is a simple and quick method for the tightening of figure-of-eight wires routinely used for sternal closure. This technique gives a stable approximation, adequate reduction, and immobilization, providing higher strength and rigidity compared with conventional figure-of-eight closure. The advantage of this technique is that it tightens all the four wires equally, thus avoiding loose loops.Copyright © 2015 by the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/IMI.0000000000000194 | ISSN: | 1556-9845 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/41091 | Type: | Article |
