| Abstract: | ![]()
Two children, aged 1 and 14 years with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus mediastinitis after pediatric open-heart surgery, were fitted with a vacuum-assisted closure system. Complete healing was achieved in both cases, and primary wound closure could be carried out without an omental flap after 6 and 16 days. |
