The Breast Musculocutaneous Flap for Complete Coverage of the Median Sternotomy Wound

Current Challenges in the Treatment of Deep Sternal Wound Infection Following Cardiac Surgery

“…Finally, the pectoralis major musculocuteneous flap can be mobilized in a rotational manner when the skin-muscle flap is elevated based on the thoracoacromial pedicle and is rotated to the defect [179].…”

Use of the pectoralis major fasciocutaneous flap in the treatment of post sternotomy dehiscence: a new approach

“…Some dehiscences can be corrected only with debridement and approximation of the edges until the tissues involved are in better conditions. Several methods were described to correct the most complex defects, including muscle, musculocutaneous, simple skin, omentum with skin graft flaps, and more recently, breast tissue flaps (6)(7)(8)(9)(10) .…”
