ABSTRACT
Vancomycin prophylaxis for coronary artery bypass graft surgery without prosthetic valve implantation voluntarily decreased from 94% to 18% in one medical center. Median hospital stay (10 vs 9 days, P = .30) and number of postoperative infections (17.0% vs 14.3%, P = .60) did not differ among patients who received vancomycin and those who did not.
