Angiographic occlusion coils placed endobronchially under fluoroscopic guidance succeeded in controlling a large parenchymal bronchopleural fistula after failure of surgical treatment and transbronchoscopic fibrin glue application.

Recent reports suggest that fibrin glue can be used to seal porous vascular grafts prior to insertion, but this ability has not been quantitatively compared to existing methods. We compared blood loss from and handling characteristics of grafts pretreated with either fibrin glue (FG) (Tisseel), albumin autoclaving (AA), or blood preclotting (BP). Five 6-cm segments of 6-mm internal diameter gra...

PURPOSE We developed a technique for laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy with the use of intracorporeal suturing and subsequently simplified the technique by application of experimental Nitinol clips. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy on 16 domestic swine divided into four groups of four animals each. The kidney was exposed laparoscopically, and the renal artery w...

To compare postoperative adhesion formation following ovarian reconstruction with fibrin glue or the microsurgical suturing technique, an experimental study was performed on sixteen adult female rabbits. While left ovaries were reapproximated with 6–0 coated polyglactin using a microsurgical technique, right ovaries were reconstructed with fibrin glue following ovarian bisection. Four weeks lat...

The development of novel regenerative material to reduce inflammation and enhance healing process is one the greatest task in clinical research. PRF ( platelet rich fibrin) an second generation concentrate which has gained popularity recent years due its unique process. Platelet Rich Fibrin completely autologous with extended growth factor release compared other concentrates. standard quality q...
