- Abstract:
- Osteomyelitis after median sternotomy for aortocoronary bypass operation is seen in 0.9%-2.1% of the cases described in the literature. Aetiology as well as adequate therapy are still in discussion. One case of foreign body induced osteomyelitis (pace maker electrode) with a therapy resistant osteomyelitis is presented and discussed in this paper.
