Results of the modified bi-pectoral muscle flap procedure for post-sternotomy deep wound infection
2016
Purpose
Post-sternotomy deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a severe complication of cardiac surgery. The introduction of omental and muscle flaps has resulted in a significant decrease in morbidity and mortality. In this article, we present the findings for a series of 55 consecutive patients with DSWI treated using an alternative bi-pectoral musculofascial flap technique.
