Repeat Sternotomy for Pediatrics

NCT00485745 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1281

Last updated 2014-12-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Given the relative lack of information regarding the risks associated with repeat sternotomy in the pediatric patient population, a preliminary screen of the Children's Cardiothoracic Surgery Database was performed to determine how many repeat sternotomies have been performed at this institution within the last 4 years. A total of 1281 repeat sternotomies were identified during this time period.

We propose a retrospective review of the indications, potential risk factors, and short-term outcomes for these procedures. These data would allow a multivariable regression analysis to identify risk factors associated with adverse events during repeat sternotomy.
