Vacuum-assisted closure of post-sternotomy mediastinitis as compared to open packing | Netherlands, 2012 | Retrospective observational | Vacuum Assisted Therapy (-75 to -125 mmHg) versus conventional dressings | Wound closure: Of the 89 patients undergoing vacuum therapy, 62 (69.66%) required new sternal fixation, and in 27 (30.33%) the wounds were closed for second intention. Mortality: In-hospital mortality was lower in the vacuum treated group (12.4% p =0.0032). |

Negative pressure wound therapy for post-sternotomy mediastinitis reduces mortality rate and sternal re-infection rate compared to conventional treatment | Germany, 2010 | Retrospective observational | Negative Pressure Wound Therapy set at -125 mmHg versus conventional treatment | Reinfection: two patients in the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy group compared to nine patients in the conventional group (p=0.008). Mortality: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy reduced the mortality rate (p=0.005) and tended to decrease the duration of hospitalization (p=0.08). |

Assessment of Vacuum-assisted closure therapy on the wound healing process in cardiac surgery | United Kingdom, 2015 | Retrospective observational | Vacuum Assisted Therapy (-125 mmHg) | Reintervention: of the 52 patients, 88.5% (n=46) treated exclusively with vacuum therapy were successful, and six (11.5%) required plastic interventions. Mortality: no death related to complications of vacuum therapy. |

Mediastinitis after coronary artery bypass grafting: the effect of Vacuum-assisted closure versus traditional closed drainage on survival and re-infection rate | Norway, 2012 | Retrospective Cohort | Vacuum Assisted Therapy (-125 mmHg) versus conventional drainage | Reintervention: of the 66 patients treated with conventional drainage therapy, ten (15.1%) required a muscle graft to close the wound, and in the vacuum group, nine (14.1%) required a graft. Mortality: there was no significant difference in the mortality rate after 30 days between the two groups. |

Negative-pressure wound therapy for deep sternal wound infections reduces the rate of surgical interventions for early re-infections | Iceland, 2012 | Retrospective Cohort | Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (GranuFoam™) adjusted in -125 mmHg versus conventional dressing (chlorhexidine or paraffin). | Infection: in the conventional group, eight patients required surgical review for reinfections. In the vacuum therapy group, one patient reinfected (p=0.02). six patients in the conventional dressing group developed late chronic sternal infections (p=0.10). Mortality: 30-day mortality was not significantly different between groups one and two (4% vs 0%, p>0.1). |
