  • Title: Late presentation of poststernotomy mediastinitis 15 years after coronary artery bypass grafting.
    Author: Oh AK, Wong GA, Wong MS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2006 Nov; 82(5):1894-7. PubMed ID: 17062271.
    Abstract:
    Poststernotomy mediastinitis is a relatively rare, but potentially fatal complication of cardiac surgery. Although the vast majority of cases present within 1 month of median sternotomy, there are some reports of presentations beyond 1 year. We report a rare case of mediastinitis presenting 15 years after coronary artery bypass grafting.
