Abstract

Midsternotomy in patients with a coexisting tracheostomy is associated with a risk of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) or mediastinitis. We herein present two cases of total arch replacement using a surgical technique designed to avoid the danger of DSWI. Total arch replacement via an antero-lateral thoracotomy with partial sternotomy can be one of the options for patients with a tracheostoma or after laryngectomy, and can both protect organs and avoid DSWI.
