title: Postoperative cellulitis of the foot and lower leg following coronary bypass.
abstract: Greater saphenous vein grafts are standardly used for coronary artery bypass grafting. Recurrent acute cellulitis of the saphenous vein-donor extremity is an infrequently reported complication. The authors present a protocol designed to reduce the incidence of the recurrent cellulitis through proper preoperative assessment and postoperative management.
