The management of infected median sternotomy wounds.

Abstract
Extensive experience with infected sternotomy wounds treated by aggressive debridement and immediate, laterally based pectoralis muscle flaps has shown this to be a reliable and effective treatment for a major complication previously associated with high morbidity and mortality. This is a plastic surgery operation that saves lives and health care dollars.
