Use of a sagittal oscillating saw for repeat sternotomy: a safer and simpler technique

BF Akl, SB Pett Jr and JA Wernly

A method of repeat sternotomy using a microsagittal oscillating saw is described. We have found this method to be safer and simpler than previously described techniques. We have used this technique in more than 50 repeat sternotomies without a single complication related to the mediastinal reentry procedure.
