RESUMEN
In our experience, PDT after total arch replacement, especially after dissection of neck vessels, should be approached with caution. A long skin incision that allows discharge to drain from the wound and a sufficiently long postoperative tracheostomy period to allow tissue healing in the neck are necessary for prevention of mediastinitis.
