Abstract

A case of mediastinal infection following orthotopic heart transplantation is presented. A general survey of the available surgical management of this complication is given and an alternative operation involving extra-abdominal transposition of the greater omentum pedicled on the left gastroepiploic vessels is suggested for treating difficult cases.
