Sternotomy infection after harvesting of the internal mammary artery

A Nkongho, JM Luber, J Bell-Thomson and GE Green

Use of the internal mammary artery for coronary revascularization does not increase the incidence of postoperative median sternotomy wound infection. When infection does occur in these patients, however, successful treatment is more likely to require more aggressive surgical manipulation, such as the use of vascularized muscle pedicle grafts, to eventually close the sternal defect.
