Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Aortic valve replacement
French term or phrase: désunion sternale
le patient beneficie d'un remplacement valvulaire aortique mecanique. Le patient est réadressé en chirurgie cardiothoracique pour une désunion sternale hémorragique.

Est-ce que la "désunion" c'est uniquement la rupture des sutures qui va mener ensuite à une déhiscence sternale?
ou est-ce que c'est: déhiscence sternale? ou autres?

Merci pour l'avis des médecins parmi vous.
