Fig. 1 The skin incision runs along the inframammary crease and crosses the sternum at the level of the fourth intercostal space. The intercostal incision is made along the upper surface of the fifth rib. The costal cartilage of the fourth rib (shaded area) is resected to allow upward mobility of the fourth rib with retraction.

Fig. 2 The surgeon's view shows a Finochietto chest retractor used to spread the ribs vertically, with a Balfour retractor in place, with one jaw on the sternum and one jaw on the muscle and skin of the lateral chest. The intercostal muscle division is carried far more lateral and posterior than the skin incision to maximize rib spreading. The combined effect of these 2 retractors typically results in excellent exposure without sternal division. (From Meyers BF, Patterson GA. Technical aspects of adult lung transplantation.
