Post CABG Chest Wound Treatment
Introduction to Post CABG Chest Wound
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), commonly called bypass surgery, saves countless lives. However, some patients develop complications such as post CABG chest wound infections, delayed healing, or sternal wound breakdown. Specialized reconstructive treatment is required to restore proper healing and prevent life-threatening outcomes.
