Abstract:

Objectives: To investigate whether the Ni-Ti-shaped memory alloy embracing plate is an effective treatment for post -sternotomycomplications and to see if it can improve the mechanical stability of sternal closure and to evaluate its initial outcome. Methods: One-hundred twenty patients from January 2012 through December 2015 underwent sternal fixation with the Ni-Ti-shaped memory alloy embracing plate in cardiac sugery. Sternal healing was evaluated by physical examination, wound healing complications and the computed tomography (CT) showings of coaptation the sternal halves. The pain scores were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively on day 3 to 7, discharge, 4 weeks and 3 and 6 months. Results: The patients with Ni-Ti-shaped memory alloy embracingplate fixation had less postoprative comlications, such as fat liquefication, mediastinitis, sternal dehiscenc. The postoperative pain scores were significantly lower in patients with sternal fixation of embracing plates than that with wire cerclage. The life quanlity was imporoved in embracing plate fixation patients. Conclusion: The Ni-Ti-shaped memory alloy embracing plate significantly improved the sternal stability closure and life quanlity and reduced postoperative pain in cardiac surgery.
