Because of my infection and the need for the Maize procedure, I had the full sternotomy. I will tell you that my incision area looks very good with minimal scarring so far. One concern I had was the breathing tube and the thought of waking up with that. As it turned out, just as Dr. Castro discussed they had that tube out before I was fully awake from sedation. A complete non issue for me. A very impressive surgical team and follow up care at a great institution. Please let me know of any other questions I can answer.
