Abstract
- Among the 1,993 patients undergoing open-heart operations, our incidence rate of mediastinitis was 0.6%. Six patients have been treated with the pedicled omentum. Two of the 6 patients had a valvular disease and a coronary bypass the others. All patients had a good result with this procedure. After this experience, we think it is the best technique for management of this major complication.
