Abstract

Midline sternotomy is the approach most commonly used in patients undergoing operation with cardiopulmonary by-pass. The end of operation, is conventionally performed using wires of surgical steel that are passed through the sternal plates. A complication that may arise is sternal instability, either with or without concurrent infection. Sternal wound infection is a important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients under-going cardiac surgery via midline sternotomy. This complication may be the result of unstable osteosynthesis, caused by the sternal wire cutting into the cortical layers. Osteoporosis may be a significant factor in unfavorable results following open cardiac surgery. The effect of the system is that the staple transfers the load from a single point to the area of the back of the staple and physically prevents the wire from cutting into the anterior cortical bone layer. The method is presented here whereby the conventional sternal closure is reinforced, and an increase in the available force between the sternal plates is provided in the elderly. Between November 2000 and February 2001, 20 elderly patients underwent various cardiac procedures via midline sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass at Süleyman Demirel University, School of Medicine, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery. The Reinforced Sternal Closure System was applied in all patients. We believe that, this method is useful in elderly with osteoporosis after midline sternotomy.

Özet

Kardiyopulmoner by-pass ile açık kalp cerrahisi uygulanan hastalarda ameliyat genellikle median sternotomi ile yapılır. Ameliyatın sonunda cerrahi çelik teller sternumdan tam kat geçilerek birleştirilir. Ameliyat sonrası gelişebilecek sternal insitabilite, eşlik eden bir enfeksiyon ile birlikte olabilir veya enfeksiyon olmaksızın tek başına bulunabilir. Açık kalp cerrahisi geçiren hastalarda, sternal yara yeri enfeksiyonu mortalitesi ve morbiditesi yüksek olması nedeni ile, bu durumdan kaçınmak için her türlü önlemin alınması gerekir. Sternum kapama tellerinin sternumun kortikal tabakalarını kesmesi sonucu, her iki sternum parçası birbirinden ayrılır ve bu ayrılmanın sonucunda uygunsuz bir osteosentez gelişebilir. Osteoporoz açık kalp cerrahisi sonrası istenmeyen sonuçların gelişmesinde önemli bir faktör olabilir. Sistemin etkisi, sternumun çelik tellerle kapatılması sonucunda sternuma uygulanan gerilimin tek bir noktadan geniş bir alana yayılarak sternum da kesilmeye engel olmasıdır. Bu tanımlanan yeni sternum kapama tekniği ile çelik tellerin geçtiği bölgede sternum kenarlarının daha güçlendirileceği bildirilmektedir. Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi, Kalp ve Damar Cerrahisi kliniğinde Kasım 2000 ile Şubat 2001 arasında 20 yaşlı hastaya midline sternotomi ile kardiyopulmoner by-pass altında değişik açık kalp ameliyatları uygulandı. Çalışmaya alınan açık kalp ameliyatı geçiren hastaların tamamında güçlendirilmiş konvansiyonel sternum kapama tekniği (The Reinforced Sternal Closure System) kullanıldı. Bu tekniğin özellikle osteoporoz gelişmiş midline sternotomi geçiren yaşlı hastalarda faydalı olacağı düşüncesindeyiz.
