Physiology and Pathology of the Heart and Blood Vessels

Engineering in the Heart and Blood Vessels

Engineering journals frequently present articles reviewing the progress of applied engineering in medical instrumentation and clinical medicine prosthetic devices. The authors have expanded such a feature to produce this book, which illustrates what can happen when an engineer (Dr. Myers) and a practicing surgeon (Dr. Parsonnet) join together in a research venture lasting over five years.

PREPARATION OF FIBRIN GLUE AS A BIOLOGICAL SEALANT TO CONTROL BLEEDING IN HEART MUSCLE AND BLOOD VESSELS

Fibrin glue is used for control of bleeding in various surgical procedures. In this work the ability of fibrin glue to seal punctures in the vascular system is demonstrated. Blood samples were taken from rabbits, fibrinogen was separated and fibrin glue was eventually prepared. The rabbits were anesthetized and a midline incision was carried out. The heart and abdominal aorta were exposed. ...
