Abstract
ABSTRACT
Purulent mediastinitis with an ascending aortic composite valve conduit
is a serious dilemma for surgeons who must choose between changing or
saving the prosthetic graft. Here, we treated a mediastinitis case without
explanting and replacing the ascending aortic prosthetic valve conduit
and instead saved the conduit with aggressive debridement, irrigation
and omental transposition. The patient was discharged at postoperative
42nd day, control examination revealed no active infection or mechanical
complications at 3 month
