Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC)-Instill(®) with continuous irrigation for the treatment of Mycoplasma hominis mediastinitis.

Saziye Karaca1, Afksendiyos Kalangos1.   

Abstract

A 56-year-old patient who underwent ascending aorta replacement postoperatively developed mediastinitis with atypical Mycoplasma hominis. We present the first successful treatment of M. hominis mediastinitis after cardiac surgery with vacuum-assisted closure (VAC)-Instill(®) therapy combined with dilute antiseptic irrigation for bacterial eradication.
