Evaluation of Fibrin Sealant 2 in Vascular Surgical Procedures

July 11, 2006 updated by: Ethicon, Inc.

A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study to Compare the Effects of a Fibrin Sealant (FS2) Versus Manual Compression on Haemostatic Efficacy During Vascular Surgical Procedures Utilising Polytetrafluorethylene Graft Material on an End-to-Side Femoral or Upper Extremity Vascular Access Arterial Anastomosis

A comparison of a fibrin sealant versus manual compression in stopping surgical bleeding during vascular procedures.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female subjects, 18 years or older, requiring elective, primary or repeat vascular procedures with at least one end-to-side femoral or upper extremity vascular access arterial anastomosis (e.g. femoral-femoral, femoral-popliteal, femoral-tibial, ilio-femoral, aorto-bifemoral, abdominal aortic aneurysm, upper extremity vascular access for dialysis) using uncoated or heparin-coated PTFE grafts and polypropylene sutures (size 5-0 or 6-0) with a 1:1 needle-to-thread ratio.
  • Following initial arterial clamp release, the study surgeon determines that adjunctive measures are needed to obtain haemostasis at the SAS.
  • Subjects must be willing to and capable of participating in the study, and provided written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects undergoing re-vascularisation using autologous conduits (e.g. saphenous vein) or prosthetic material other than uncoated or heparin-coated PTFE.
  • Subjects undergoing emergency surgery.
  • Subjects with any intra-operative findings that may preclude conduct of the study procedure.
  • Subjects with known intolerance to heparin, blood products or to one of the components of the study product.
  • Subjects unwilling to receive blood products.
  • Subjects with autoimmune immunodeficiency diseases (including known HIV).
  • Subjects who are known, current alcohol and / or drug abusers.
  • Subjects who have participated in another investigational drug or device research study within 30 days of enrolment.
  • Female subjects who are pregnant or nursing.
