Sternal Reconstruction with Titanium Prosthesis for Complicated Sternal Dehiscence with Right Ventricle Herniation after Cardiac Surgery: A Case Report.

Sternal wound dehiscence after cardiac surgery is usually accompanied by a high morbidity and mortality rate. When sternal rewiring fails, rigid fixation systems may be used for sternal reconstruction. We report a case involving a female patient with multiple risk factors for sternal dehiscence who underwent a coronary artery bypass graft procedure.
