We describe herein the case of a patient in whom a median sternotomy was successfully employed for mediastinal drainage in the treatment of descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM). Although most reports describe cervical or thoracotomy approaches, our experience strongly suggests that median sternotomy is a satisfactory alternative approach for treatment of this disease.
我们在此描述了一例患者，其在降主动脉坏死性纵隔炎（DNM）的治疗中成功采用正中胸骨切开术进行纵隔引流。尽管大多数报告描述的是颈部或开胸手术方法，但我们的经验强烈表明，正中胸骨切开术是治疗这种疾病的一种令人满意的替代方法。
