Poststernotomy mediastinitis is a relatively rare, but potentially fatal complication of cardiac surgery. Although the vast majority of cases present within 1 month of median sternotomy, there are some reports of presentations beyond 1 year. We report a rare case of mediastinitis presenting 15 years after coronary artery bypass grafting.
胸骨切开术后纵隔炎是心脏手术中一种相对罕见但可能致命的并发症。尽管绝大多数病例在正中胸骨切开术后1个月内出现，但也有一些报告称发病时间超过1年。我们报告1例冠状动脉搭桥术后15年出现纵隔炎的罕见病例。
