Assessment of microcirculation on sternal wound healing after coronary artery bypass graft surgical diabetic & non-diabetic patients using laser Doppler imaging system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background/Introduction In this study we propose to investigate the effect of the neovascularisation and blood flow to the sternum and surrounding tissues in diabetic & non-diabetic patients by using a laser Doppler imager. The reasons for the delayed healing are not entirely clear, but are thought to include both mechanical factors such as poor wiring of the breastbone during surgery, and biological factors related to the interruption to the blood supply to the sternum and surrounding tissues associated with the procedure.

Sternal non-union is a severe complication of sternotomy closure following open heart surgeries. Healing problems typically occur in 0.3% to 5% of patients. Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) bone scintigraphy has been used to assess bone nonunion to predict the healing response for proper management. In this report, we present the case of a marked sternal nonunio...
متن کاملGelatin sheet incorporating basic fibroblast growth factor enhances healing of devascularized sternum in diabetic rats.
BACKGROUND Poor healing of the sternum often limits the use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITAs) after coronary bypass surgery in diabetic patients. We have reported that a gelatin sheet that incorporates basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) accelerates sternal healing after BITA removal in normal rats. This study evaluated the effects of the above method for sternal healing in diab...
