Purpose: Sternal osteomyelitis is a major complication of cardiac operations performed through median sternotomy. The surgical treatment, which involves the debridement and removal of whole infected and necrotic tissue is the standard of care, although it is sometimes unachievable. This may occur, for instance, when the infectious-inflammatory process invades the anterior mediastinum and tenaciously incorporates one or more of vital anatomical structures. Methods and results: An inoperable case of postoperative sternal osteomyelitis that involved the right ventricle and the right coronary artery, and that was successfully treated using a nonsurgical multidisciplinary approach, is reported here. Conclusion: For highly selected patients with sternal osteomyelitis for whom surgery is a too risky option, an approach including the contribution of various specialists might be a viable way out.
