Key result
Infrainguinal revascularization achieved limb salvage and wound healing in 100% of patients with harvest site necrosis after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Why the study?
Does infrainguinal reconstruction improve wound healing and limb salvage in patients with wound necrosis of the harvest site after CABG?

Does infrainguinal reconstruction improve wound healing and limb salvage in patients with wound necrosis of the harvest site after CABG?
Infrainguinal reconstruction is highly effective for achieving limb salvage and wound healing in patients with severe harvest site necrosis post-CABG due to unrecognized peripheral vascular disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support infrainguinal revascularization for post-CABG harvest necrosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Gandhi et al. (1994) conducted a case report in Wound necrosis of the harvest site after coronary artery bypass grafting (n=5). Infrainguinal revascularization was evaluated on Limb salvage and wound healing. Infrainguinal revascularization achieved limb salvage and wound healing in 100% of patients with harvest site necrosis after coronary artery bypass grafting.
