  • Rib cage is connected to the chest bone, sternum, which has somewhat an equilibrium role in chest mechanics, to produce negative pressure, for inspiration, which is mainly the function of the diaphragm. In order to access the heart, we often divide the sternum into two equal parts, which we approximate them at the end of the operation with steel wires. I will soon post a new video showing various techniques of doing so. Thanks for your attention...
