Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Prospective randomized multicenter trial of fibrin sealant versus thrombin-soaked gelatin sponge for suture- or needle-hole bleeding from polytetrafluoroethylene femoral artery grafts.
We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the fibrin sealant Beriplast P (FSBP; Aventis-Behring) for hemostasis in anastomosis of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts to the femoral artery. ⋯ FSBP is more effective than TSG for achieving hemostasis of needle or suture hole bleeding from PTFE femoral artery grafts.
