Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in deep sternal wound infection after heart transplantation
Chest.
1999 May.
Abstract
The results of orthotopic heart transplantation (OHTx) are still burdened with considerable early mortality due to graft rejection or infection. Sternum osteomyelitis is an infrequent postoperative complication. We report a case of deep sternal wound infection (2 months after OHTx) that was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to local surgical treatment.
