Coronary artery bypass surgery in diabetic patients – risk factors for sternal wound infections
نویسندگان
چکیده
The incidence of sternal wound infections (SWI) after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) as reported worldwide is low. However, it is associated with significant increase of postoperative mortality and treatment costs. The major risk factors discussed are diabetes mellitus and bilateral IMA harvesting of the internal mammary artery. This study analyses data of 590 patients receiving CABG concerning the risk factors for SWI. Sternal wound infections occur significantly more often in diabetic patients, one crucial and significant additional risk factor is obesity.

Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a feared complication following cardiac surgery. This study describes clinical, microbiological, and treatment outcomes of DSWI and determines risk factors for complications. Of 55 patients with DSWI, 66% were male and mean age was 68.2 years. Initial sternotomy was for coronary artery bypass graft in 49% of patients. Sternal debridement at mean 25.4±18.3 ...
