The purpose of this prospective study was to determine whether a prophylactic sternal weave would decreased the incidence of noninfective sternal dehiscence, compared to routine sternal closure, in a high-risk group. Between 2000 and 2007, 200 patients undergoing median sternotomy for cardiac surgery, with one or more risk factors including New York Heart Association functional class III\/IV, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, obesity, and off-midline sternotomy, were randomly assigned to group A (sternal weave closure, 100 patients) or group B (routine sternal wire closure, 100 patients). No patient in either group with a single risk factor had sternal dehiscence. The incidence of noninfective sternal dehiscence was significantly less in group A than group B in patients with 2 or more risk factors (2.5% vs. 12.5%). Routine sternal closure is sufficient in patients with a single risk factor, whereas a prophylactic sternal weave should be carried out in all patients with 2 or more risk factors, to decrease postoperative morbidity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0218492309103306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,6]],"date-time":"2013-05-06T09:37:22Z","timestamp":1367833042000},"page":"167-170","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Sternal Weave in High-Risk Patients to Prevent Noninfective Sternal Dehiscence"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Sumit","family":"Narang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GB Pant Hospital, Maulana Azad Medical College New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Banerjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GB Pant Hospital, Maulana Azad Medical College New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepak K","family":"Satsangi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GB Pant Hospital, Maulana Azad Medical College New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad A","family":"Geelani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GB Pant Hospital, Maulana Azad Medical College New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8191.1997.tb00139.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2006.04.058"},{"key":"bibr3-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2000-9945"},{"key":"bibr4-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-7940(02)00124-0"},{"key":"bibr5-0218492309103306","first-page":"305","volume":"37","author":"Bryan AJ","year":"1992","journal-title":"J R Coll Surg Edinb"},{"key":"bibr6-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-4975(95)01035-1"},{"key":"bibr7-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/14017438309099365"},{"key":"bibr8-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-7940(99)00014-7"},{"key":"bibr9-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(03)01339-0"},{"key":"bibr10-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(97)01003-5"},{"key":"bibr11-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(19)35277-8"},{"key":"bibr12-0218492309103306","first-page":"601","volume":"42","author":"Totaro P","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino)"},{"key":"bibr13-0218492309103306","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2004.07.043"}],"container-title":["Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0218492309103306","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0218492309103306","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0218492309103306","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T15:14:05Z","timestamp":1777389245000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0218492309103306"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0218492309103306"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0218492309103306","relation":{},"ISSN":["0218-4923","1816-5370"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0218-4923","type":"print"},{"value":"1816-5370","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]}}}
