摘要：

In this study, six of 693 consecutive patients in 29 months who underwent only myocardial revascularization, without prophylactic systemic therapy with antibiotics, experienced infection of a clean wound. This incidence of infection (0.86%) in such patients is the lowest reported in the literature. Prevention of infection of clean mediastinal wounds in patients undergoing only myocardial revascularization is related to preoperative preparation of the skin and local antibiotic irrigation of the wound, rather than to prophylactic systemic therapy with antibiotics.
