Abstract

Reoperation for progressive coronary artery disease, graft closure, or valvular disease carries a higher risk to the patient. Sternal reentry is a formidable obstacle to the cardiac surgeon as a result of mediastinal scarring and adherence of vital structures to the sternum. We present our technique with endoscopic release of the sternum as an alternate, safe method of sternal reentry.
