ABSTRACT
Clamshell (bilateral anterolateral thoracotomy combined to transverse sternotomy) is an invasive surgical approach that is helpful in particular situations, especially bilateral lung transplantation. The closure technique remains challenging because clamshell incision can end with override, separation, or sternal pseudarthrosis complications. We describe the use of new absorbable sternal pins to stabilize the sternal closure and to help avoid additional sternal complications.
