Abstract
Wound complication is a significant concern with VEPTR implantation. This study retrospectively analyzes wound complication risk parameters in the largest available single institution series of VEPTR complications. Results demonstrate univariate associations between wound complications and 9 parameters. Multivariate analysis identified 4 independent predictors of wound complications: risk of patient age, gender, diaper use with lower back incision, and bilateral procedure. These variables were used to construct a predictive model for risk stratification.
