Abstract:
A 64-year-old man was referred for aortic valve replacement due to severe stenosis. He also suffered chronic sternal osteomyelitis with skin fistula subsequent to radiation therapy. Both pathologies were approached simultaneously by sternal resection, omental plasty, and valve replacement, which led to favorable primary and mid-term result.
