Abstract
A 76-year-old man, who was complicated with chronic sternal osteomyelitis after thoracic aortic aneurysmectomy was reported. He was treated with local wound care and antibiotics for about 3 months, but cutaneous fistula with persistent discharge required sternal bone debridement and omental pedicle grafting. After this treatment the patient was uneventful. 67Ga scintigram and 67Ga-SPECT may be more useful in the diagnosis of this serious complication.Entities:
