Abstract
- Acute mediastinitis and subsequent graft infection following aorta surgery poses a difficult problem, as infected synthetic material must be completely removed for resolution of infection. Here we report a case of successful management of acute mediastinitis following hemiarch replacement for acute aortic dissection with omental flap transfer leaving infected graft in situ.
