Accepted for publication September 6, 1995.

During operations on patients with extracardiac conduits, sternal reapproximation occasionally results in critical compression of the conduit and serious deterioration in hemodynamic function. Permanent splinting of the sternum with a methyl methacrylate resinous plate provides an adequate substernal space for the extracardiac conduit.
