Disabling incisional pain weeks or months after coronary artery bypass surgery should prompt an investigation for a postmidsternotomy chest wall complication. Our patient had symptomatic relief after the removal of a painful sternal wire suture. Prompt recognition of this delayed chest wall complication, which can be confused with cardiac pain, may obviate a more lengthy and costly evaluation.
冠状动脉搭桥手术后数周或数月出现的切口疼痛若影响功能，应促使对正中开胸术后胸壁并发症进行调查。我们的患者在拆除一根引起疼痛的胸骨钢丝缝线后症状得到缓解。及时识别这种可能与心脏疼痛相混淆的延迟性胸壁并发症，或许可以避免更漫长且费用更高的评估。
