Key Points

This research examines the relationship between chest wall stability and treatment strategies for wound infections after sternotomy.
Comparative analysis of two treatment strategies for wound infections following sternotomy.
Assessment of chest wall stability in patients.
Evaluation of mortality rates in early and long-term periods after treatment.
Vacuum therapy showed effectiveness in patients without sternal diastasis.
Mortality rates were comparable between treatment groups in both early and long-term follow-ups.

Implication

Research reveals vacuum therapy effectiveness in wound management post-sternotomy, indicating chest wall stability influences treatment strategies.

Abstract

Chest wall stability may be decisive in choosing treatment strategy. Vacuum therapy is effective in patients without sternal diastasis. Mortality rate in early and long-term period after treatment was comparable in both groups.
