20 cases of sternal infection (at Viet Duc hospital and some other hospitals in Ha Noi) were researched and described prospectively about diagnosis, techniques and treatment results. The subjects were divided in to 2 group based on the infection processing techniques.Results:

Both techniques have their own reasonable creativeness and the standardized process, improving the limitations of ordinary technique, providing high treatment effectiveness \ufffd?85% have recovered after only one operation.Conclusion:
