Objective: Impaired parasternal skin perfusion (PSSP) after left intern mammary artery (LIMA) harvesting in coronary arterial bypass surgery (CABG) reflects sternal hypo-perfusion with potential risk of surgical site infection (SSI). We present the impact of pediculized versus skeletonized LIMA-harvesting on PSSP by quantitative transcutaneous duplex sonographic flow mapping. (TDSFM).
