Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
Francis Fynn-Thompson, Thomas J Vander Salm
Abstract
Deep sternal wound infections continue to be an uncommon but potentially devastating complication of cardiac surgical procedures. Numerous risk factors have been identified but only a few can be characterized as modifiable. These risk factors and their modifications are reviewed in the following article.
