| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | To determine the best method for leg wound closure. The choice of wound closure technique may have important implications for post operative healing in these high risk cases, and also have an impact in other patients at lower risk for post operative morbidity. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) |
| Intervention | A prospective randomised controlled trial performed at the Southwest Cardiothoracic Centre. Recruitment of patients will be over a period of 6 months. Patients will be followed from the day of operation to the time of discharge from the hospital and for a period of 6 weeks thereafter. Patients will be randomised to two equal sized groups. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Single layer wound closure over Redivac drains 2. 2-layer closure +/- Redivac drains as indicated clinically. |
