The pectoral muscles were detached laterally. After the perichondrium and costal cartilages were resected bilaterally. the left-sided intercostal muscles and perichondrial sheaths were divided 3 cm lateral to the sternum. To place the retractor in parasternal position, excellent exposure of the heart and aortic root was enabled. The aortic root was replaced with a Carboseal graft. Chest wall reconstructions was completed by modified Ravitch procedure with Gore-tex sheet The patient was discharged after an uneventful recovery on postoperative day 14.
