MOBIDERM® Autofit as a Novel Approach for Saphenous Vein Harvest Site Complications: Therapeutic and Prophylactic Applications in Lymphatic Disturbance

Saphenous vein harvest site complications remain a concern after coronary artery bypass grafting, particularly when lymphatic disturbance contributes to delayed healing. We describe two cases in which MOBIDERM^® Autofit (Thuasne, Levallois-Perret, France), a micropad-based compression device originally developed for lymphedema management, was applied either therapeutically in a patient with wound infection and persistent edema or prophylactically in a high-risk patient with early postoperative swelling. In both situations, its use was associated with favorable healing and uncomplicated recovery, suggesting that this device may offer a practical adjunctive option for preventing and managing postoperative harvest site complications.
