摘要
Purpose: The aims of the present study were to examine sternal and saphenous vein (SV) harvest site wound complication rates, and to assess the strategies to minimize the sternal and leg wound complications after coronary artery bypass grafting using a no-touch Methods: Patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using internal thoracic artery (ITA) and/or NT SV grafts from March 2021 to June 2023 (N = 166) at a newly opened cardiac surgical program were included. We obeyed the current guidelines for the prevention of sternal wound infection. In addition, unilateral ITA was used in most of the patients and the sternal wound was meticulously closed using multiple sternal wires (>= 7) and ZipFix. For the NT SV harvesting, the LigaSure device was used to minimize thermal injury, and the wound was meticulously closed. Results: Sternal wound infections developed in 3/166 (1.8%) patients; all three patients showed superficial sternal wound infections. Leg wound complications were present in 2/153 (1.3%) patients, who recovered after secondary intention healing. Conclusion: Sternal wound complications after CABG could be minimized by the unilateral ITA usage, meticulous closure of the sternal wound in addition to compliance with the current guidelines. Wound complications after NT SV harvest may also be minimized by preoperative evaluation, careful harvesting, and meticulous wound closure.
