METHODS Between 1999 and 2008, 7746 patients underwent median sternotomy for cardiac surgery at our institution. Patients were screened for DSWI and out of the cohort 159 were identified...
متن کاملPlatelet-rich plasma inside the sternotomy wound reduces the incidence of sternal wound infections.
Despite the large choice of wide-spectrum antibiotic therapy, deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) following cardiac surgery is a life-threatening complication worldwide. This study evaluated that the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applied inside the sternotomy wound would reduce the effect of sternal wound infections, both superficial and deep. Between January 2007 and January 2012, 1093 con...

We retrospectively collected and analysed data from patients with sternal wound infections between 1995 and 2001, which were treated with different wound management strategies, and compared them with our patients from 2002 to 2011, who were treated with the sternal negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). From 1995 to 2001, a total of 198 patients (group A) with a mean age of 65 ± 10 years devel...
متن کاملNegative-pressure wound therapy for deep sternal wound infections reduces the rate of surgical interventions for early re-infections.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the outcome of treatment for deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) in a nationwide patient cohort, before and after the introduction of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT). METHODS This was a population-based cohort of all patients treated for DSWI in Iceland out of 2446 open heart operations performed between 2000 and 2010.
