Deep sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery
BACKGROUND Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a serious postoperative complication of cardiac surgery. In this study we investigated the incidence of DSWI and effect of re-exploration for bleeding on DSWI mortality. METHODS We reviewed 73,700 cases registered in the Japan Adult Cardiovascular Surgery Database (JACVSD) during the period from 2004 to 2009 and divided them into five groups: ...

Diagnosis is made by the clinical presentation of fever, chest pain, or sternal instability in the setting of wound drainage, pos...

متن کاملFunctional impairment after treatment with pectoral muscle flaps because of deep sternal wound infection.
OBJECTIVE Pectoral muscle flaps (PMF) are effective in terminating protracted sternal wound infections (SWI) but long-term outcome remains uncertain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcome in patients treated with PMF. DESIGN Thirty-four of 263 patients revised because of deep SWI from 1991--2005 were treated with PMF. Of the 21 patients alive, 11 had left-sided, t...
متن کاملVancomycin Local application, role in Deep Sternal Wound Infection in our experience
Introduction: Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is one of the most complex and potentially devastating complications following median sternotomy in cardiac surgery. Despite many advances in prevention, it still remains significant and ranges between 0.5% and 6.8%. We aim to study the role of vancomycin paste applied locally over sternal edges in reducing DSWI.Materials and Methods...
