Abstract
- An 82-year-old man suffered from Candida albicans mediastinitis following emergency aortic valve replacement. After repeated debridement of the anterior portion of the mediastinum, we applied a vacuum assisted closure device with UrgoTul Absorb placed on the right ventricle. Despite relatively short-term application of this device, mediastinitis was cured in combination with transposition of the great omentum.
