The incidence of sternal wound complications, such as dehiscences, infections, and sternocutaneous fistulas, can reach 10%. Sternocutaneous fistulas are extremely rare, and the only definite therapy is surgical repair. Our experience taught us that combining a traditional approach with an extracellular matrix patch might be a step forward in therapy. We described three examples of surgically reconstructing sternocutaneous fistulas with an extracellular matrix patch (ProxiCor®).
胸骨伤口并发症的发生率,如裂开、感染和胸骨皮肤瘘,可达10%。胸骨皮肤瘘极为罕见,唯一明确的治疗方法是手术修复。我们的经验告诉我们,将传统方法与细胞外基质贴片相结合可能是治疗上的一个进步。我们描述了三个用细胞外基质贴片(ProxiCor®)手术重建胸骨皮肤瘘的病例。
