Postoperative major thoracic dehiscence is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication which is sometimes difficult to detect clinically. Radiography may provide the initial clue to this abnormality. The wire sutures of sternotomy incisions may break, rotate, or become displaced. Disruption of posterolateral incisions is manifested by an increase in the distance between adjacent ribs. Air-fluid collections may be visible in the soft tissues of the chest wall.
术后严重胸壁裂开是一种罕见但可能致命的并发症，有时临床上难以检测到。放射学检查可能为这种异常情况提供初步线索。胸骨切开术切口的钢丝缝线可能会断裂、旋转或移位。后外侧切口的裂开表现为相邻肋骨之间的距离增加。胸壁软组织中可能可见气液积聚。
