Abstract: Mediastinitis is still a challenging condition, which can easily result in severe lethal sepsis. It is important for management of mediastinitis to perform an effective and noninvasive drainage. We reported the 'parasternal anterior approach' as a method of mediastinal drainage for mediastinitis around the superior caval vein. In this congress we will present another method of mediastinal drainage for the septic mediastinitis around the aortic arch by the 'along carotid-sheath approach' without thoracotomy. The aim of this presentation is to clarify the usefulness and safety of this method.
