Clinical Trial Summary

This prospective study evaluates the role of negative pressure wound therapy or wound VAC as a dressing over the incision to prevent poststernotomy wound infection in high risk patients.


Clinical Trial Description

Surgical site infection after cardiac surgery is a major cause for increased morbidity and mortality. Vacuum assisted closure (VAC) has been used in the management of open and infected wounds. However, its effectiveness as a prophylactic measure for prevention of surgical site infection after routine cardiac surgery is unknown. ;
