Abstract EN
Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) has recently been adopted as an acceptable modality for management of sternotomy wound infections.
Although generally efficacious, the use of negative pressure devices has been associated with complications such as bleeding, retention of sponge, and empyema.
We report the first case of greater omental hernia as a rare complication of vacuum-assisted closure of sternal wound infection following coronary artery bypass grafting.
