• Mediastinitis and deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) are devastating and life-threatening complications after median sternotomy.
• Signs and symptoms of mediastinitis typically present within 30 days of cardiac surgery.
• Local signs include purulent drainage from the sternal wound and sternal instability.
• The use of muscle or omental flap in case of sternal instability or insufficient bone stock may be considered.
