Abstract

Omental transposition was performed on in two cases: a 43 year-old man with acute pericarditis who had no response to systemic antibiotics and pericardial tube drainage, and a 37 year-old woman who developed mediastinitis after mitral valve replacement. In this technique, the pedicled free omental graft was lied on contaminated area and the sternum reapproximated. There was no abdominal complication and both patients recovered rapidly and infection signs vanished completely.
