1 The sternum is notched at the level of transsection by aiming the sternal saw at a 45° angle and cutting toward the midpoint. On the contralateral side, the incision is carried upward at a 45° angle to complete the transection (A). Care is taken upon opening the chest to place one blade of the Finochetto retractor (one with an opening in the blade) against the pointed end of the sternum so that it does not injure the mediastinal structures. The sternal bone is very solid at this level and its pointed end has never broken off with retraction and manipulation. The resultant cut ends of the sternum fit nicely together at the time of closure with two sternal wires, each looped as a “figure of eight” (B). Special care is taken to cut the end of the twisted wire very short and bend it deeply into the bone to prevent postoperative discomfort.
