TY - JOUR ID - 1086900 AU - Molitor, Martin - Šimek, Martin - Lonský, Vladimír - Kaláb, Martin - Veselý, Jiří - Zálešák, Bohumil PY - 2012 TI - Pectoral Muscle Flap With V-Y Skin Paddle for Covering Sternal Defects PB - ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC CY - NEW YORK, USA KW - WOUND-INFECTION KW - SURGERY N2 - Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after a cardiac operation is a rare but serious complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It can lead to wound dehiscence with sternal osteomyelitis and both bony and soft tissue residual defects. When the infection is eradicated, reconstruction of the thoracic wall remains the main challenge. Tissue used for covering the defect must be well nourished and sutures must be tension free. We present our unique modification of the method using the pectoral muscle axial flap with a V-Y skin paddle. ER -
