Summary

The aim of this trial is to apply shockwaves to the leg wound after saphenous vein harvesting and closure in order to reduce the occurrence of postoperative wound healing complications following coronary artery bypass grafting using venous grafts.

Conditions

  • Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD)

Interventions

DEVICE

Shockwave treatment

The shockwave device will be set to an energy flux density of 0.1 mJ/mm² at 5 Hz, with approximately 25 impulses per centimeter of wound length. This means that one centimeter of the wound will be treated for 5 seconds. The shockwave treatment will then be carried out, with each centimeter of the wound area treated for 5 seconds using gentle circular motions.

DEVICE

Sham treatment

The applicator will not be connected to the shockwave device. The applicator treatment will then be carried out, with each centimeter of the wound area treated for 5 seconds using gentle circular motions.
