Researchers map bacteria on skin before heart surgery
NCT ID NCT04909424
Summary
This study looked at what types of bacteria live on the skin in the groin area of patients about to undergo a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure called TAVI. Researchers tested 100 patients to see if certain bacteria, particularly enterococci, were present before their procedure. The goal was to gather information to help doctors choose the best skin cleaning methods and antibiotics to prevent infections after surgery.
