Abstrakt: This case series describes the safety and effectiveness of superficial parasternal intercostal plane catheters for poststernotomy pain control in 4 patients who underwent multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients had reduced sternal pain and opioid consumption while the catheters ran continuously for 72 hours without complications. Our experience suggests the effectiveness of parasternal blocks can be safely prolonged with catheters, and they can be a useful addition to pain management strategies for this patient population.
