Abstract

Background: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, reliability, advantages, disadvantages and the application technique of the thermoreactive nitinol clips (TRNC) used for sternal closure in patients with sternal dehiscence. Methods: Between January 2010 and March 2012, we used TRNCs for sternal closure in 24 patients (13 males, 11 females; mean age 67±4 years; range, 53 to 79 years) with sternal dehiscence in Kartal Koşuyolu Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital, Cardiovascular Outpatient Clinic. All patients with sternal dehiscence after primary cardiac surgery were identified before the hospital discharge. They underwent sternal revision on postoperative 12±3 days (range, 6 to 18 days). Substernal tissues were not dissected in 19 patients whose sternums had been closed with TRNC, while the rest of the patients underwent substernal tissue dissection due to the risk for deep sternal wound infection. Subsequently, high risk tissues with suspected infection were debrided and curated. Results: A total of 33.3% (n=8) had superficial sternal wound infection, while 4.1% (n=1) had deep sternal wound infection. One patient who underwent substernal dissection during revision surgery developed right atrial injury due to adhesion of giant atrium to the sternum. No in-hospital mortality was observed. No complications of sternotomy including recurrent sternal dehiscence, sternal abscess, mediastinitis or secondary osteomyelitis were reported during the six-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Early surgical intervention should be considered in patients with sternal dehiscence to break the vicious circle of infection-mechanical disorder-dehiscence and to minimize the risk for mediastinitis. We recommend using TRNCs as the first treatment of choice for sternal closure in patients with sternal dehiscence thanks to its easy and safe utilization during surgery, shorter length of hospital stay, relatively lower cost and patient comfort.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, sternal ayrışma gözlenen hastaların sternumlarının kapatılmasında termoreaktif nitinol klipslerin (TRNC) etkinliği, güvenirliği, avantajları, dezavantajları ve uygulama tekniği değerlendirildi. Ça­lış­m a pla­nı: Kartal Koşuyolu Yüksek İhtisas Eğitim ve Araştırma hastanesi Kalp ve Damar Cerrahisi Kliniğinde, Ocak 2010 - Mart 2012 tarihleri arasında sternal ayrışma gözlenen 24 hastada (13 erkek, 11 kadın; ort. yaş 67±4 yıl; dağılım 53-79 yıl) sternal kapama tekniği olarak TRNCler kullanıldı. Tüm hastalarda primer kardiyak cerrahiden sonra oluşan sternal ayrışma, hastanede kaldıkları süre içerisinde tespit edildi. Bu hastalar, ameliyat sonrası 12±3. günde (dağılım, 6-18 gün) sternal revizyona alındı. Sternumu TRNC ile kapatılan hastaların 19unda substernal dokular diseke edilmezken, beşinde derin sternal yara enfeksiyonu riski açısından substernal dokular diseke edildi. Takiben enfeksiyondan etkilendiği düşünülen riskli dokular debride ve kürete edildi. Bul­gu­lar: Hastaların toplam %33.3ünde (n=8) yüzeyel sternum yara yeri enfeksiyonu görülürken, %4.1inde (n=1) derin sternum yara yeri enfeksiyonu saptandı. Revizyon ameliyatı esnasında, substernal diseksiyon yapılan bir hastada, dev sağ atriyumun sternuma yapışmasından dolayı sağ atriyal yaralanma görüldü. Hiçbir hastada hastane içi ölüm görülmedi. Hastaların ameliyat sonrası altı aylık takiplerinde tekrarlayan sternal ayrışma, sternal apse, mediastinit, sekonder osteomiyelit gibi sternotomi komplikasyonları görülmedi. So­nuç: Sternal ayrışma gözlenen hastalarda, enfeksiyon-mekanik bozukluk-ayrışma kısır döngüsünü kırmak ve bununla beraber mediastinit riskini en aza indirgemek için erken dönemde cerrahi girişim yapılmalıdır. Ameliyat esnasında TRNCnin kolay ve emniyetli uygulanması, hastanede yatış süresini kısaltması, nispeten daha az maliyetli olması ve hastalar için konforlu olması nedeniyle, sternal ayrışma gözlenen hastalarda sternal kapamalarda TRNC kullanımını ilk tercih olarak önermekteyiz.
