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.Entities:
