Pericardial meshing: a new technique to facilitate primary tension-free pericardial closure

E Milgalter, G Uretzky, S Zilberman, DV Shimon, A Appelbaum and JB Borman

A method is described to facilitate pericardial approximation at the conclusion of open-heart surgical procedures. Before sternal closure, the anterior pericardium is meshed by multiple longitudinal incisions until tension-free closure is possible. The technique was developed by animal experimentation and is now being performed in patients. It has proven to be simple, safe, and effective.
