Risk factors for deep chest wound infection after heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people develop a deep chest wound infection after heart bypass surgery (CABG). By finding out which factors increase this risk, doctors may be able to better prevent infections in future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, which is a heart surgery to improve blood flow to the heart.
- You did not die during the surgery or soon after, because this study only looks at patients who survive the operation.
- No other specific health restrictions apply—if you are getting CABG, you may be a candidate.
- You are willing to allow researchers to examine your medical records and follow your recovery for signs of a wound infection in the chest area.

This study looks at how to predict major heart problems in people with heart failure who are scheduled for bypass surgery (CABG). It aims to improve risk assessment before the procedure.
This study looks at patient data from people who had a planned coronary artery bypass graft (heart bypass) to create a better way to predict risks. It may help future patients understand their own surgery risks.
This trial looks at pneumonia that happens in the hospital after coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to understand who is at risk and how to better prevent or treat it.
This study looks at how your genes might affect your body's response to heart bypass surgery, specifically the risk of inflammation after the operation. Participants will provide blood samples before and after surgery to help researchers understand this connection.
This study tests two newer methods for closing the chest after heart bypass surgery to see if they reduce complications. If you are having heart bypass surgery, this might help improve your recovery.
This study compares recovery in older, frail patients who have heart bypass surgery through a small cut on the left side of the chest versus the traditional cut down the middle of the breastbone. It aims to see if the smaller cut helps patients recover faster and better.
