Summary

This study tested whether applying a patient's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to the chest wound during heart surgery reduces infections and improves healing. 98 adults having open-heart surgery were randomly assigned to receive either PRP plus standard closure or standard closure alone. Researchers tracked wound infections, healing time, hospital costs, and readmissions within 30 days after surgery.
