- W2136037211 abstract "The objective of this study was to examine and characterize limb-threatening lower extremity wound or soft tissue complications after coronary artery bypass (CABG) and determine risk factors for their cause. While minor wound problems of the leg after CABG are not uncommon, serious limb-threatening complications, though less frequent, do occur and are often de-emphasized in the surgical literature. A review of 1090 consecutive CABG procedures performed from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995 was instituted, which screened for limb-threatening lower extremity wound or soft tissue complications defined as wounds that: required additional surgery for treatment; prolonged the length of stay; or which required lengthy home health nursing for treatment. Minor lymph leaks, leg swelling, infections or wound problems treated as an outpatient were excluded. Of 1090 patients, 54 (5.0%) experienced a limb-threatening lower extremity complication. Complications were categorized as vein harvest incision non-healing (n = 36, 66.7%), decubitus ulceration (n = 11, 20.4%), forefoot ischemia/embolization (n = 10, 18.5%), groin hematoma/abscess (n = 6, 11.1%), severe cellulitis (n = 3, 5.6%), or a combination (n = 12, 22.2%). Statistically significant risk factors by univariate and bivariate analysis for a complication included older age (68 years vs 62 years, p = 0.007), female sex (57% vs 28%, p < 0.001), diabetes (57% vs 33%, p = 0.005) and longer pump time (129 min vs 114 min, p = 0.009). These complications necessitated five major lower extremity amputations and nine revascularization procedures. Chronic lower extremity ischemia from peripheral vascular disease (PVD) was a major contributing factor for the development of wounds in at least 23 (42.6%) of these patients, though suspected in only 10 (43.5%) preoperatively. A non-healing vein harvest incision below the knee of a patient retrospectively found to have inadequate distal circulation for healing occurred in 17 (31.5%) of the total 54 cases. It was concluded that non-healing vein incisions, decubitus ulcers and forefoot ischemic lesions frequently occurring in older diabetic females with undetected pre-existing PVD, comprise the majority of limb-threatening leg complications after CABG. Nearly one-third of the complications may have been avoided had the vein harvest incision not been made at the ankle of a patient with unappreciated PVD." @default.
