Abstract
During operations on patients with extracardiac conduits, sternal reapproximation occasionally results in critical compression of the conduit and serious deterioration in hemodynamic function. Permanent splinting of the sternum with a methyl methacrylate resinous plate provides an adequate substernal space for the extracardiac conduit.
