Abstract
We describe a case of a 68-year-old man who, because of postoperative mediastinitis, underwent a multiple muscle flap closure of the mediastinum. A chronic indwelling catheter led to erosion and rupture of the anterior wall of the right ventricle. The near exsanguinating hemorrhage was corrected under circulatory arrest. A pericardial patch repair was performed with good results.
