Risk factors for chest wound infection after heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what increases the chance of a deep chest wound infection after coronary artery bypass grafting (heart bypass surgery). The goal is to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for or have had coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.
- You survived the surgery and the immediate time after it.

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 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 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 what factors affect recovery in people having planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find out what helps predict a good recovery.
This study follows patients undergoing bypass surgery where a artery from the chest wall (internal mammary artery) is used to reroute blood around blockages in the heart. Researchers will track infection rates, how well the graft stays open, and pain levels after surgery to understand how well this approach works.
This study tests whether a special nurse-led program of phone calls and education can help reduce infections after heart bypass surgery. You may be eligible if you are at higher risk for infection and have a smartphone.
