Polyglycolic acid sheets with fibrin glue (MCFP technique) for resection of oral mucosa

Polyglycolic acid sheets with fibrin glue (MCFP technique) for resection of oral mucosa.

Tissue shielding with polyglycolic acid sheets and fibrin glue on ulcers induced by endoscopic submucosal dissection in a porcine model

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The safety and efficacy of the application of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets with fibrin glue to ulcers induced by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have not been established in the treatment of lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, in which the influence of digestive fluid and peristalsis may affect treatment, and there may also be a risk of infection. The aims ...

Filling and shielding for postoperative gastric perforations of endoscopic submucosal dissection using polyglycolic acid sheets and fibrin glue

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Many medical institutions in Japan perform endoscopic mucosal dissection (ESD) to treat early gastric cancer. Perforations can occur during ESD, and clipping has been reported as useful for treating small pinhole perforations. However, it is often difficult to close postoperative perforations because they usually have large diameters, and the muscle layer around the pe...

Successful Endoscopic Management of Non-Healing Perforated Duodenal Ulcer with Polyglycolic Acid Sheet and Fibrin Glue

In recent years, treatment techniques in which polyglycolic acid sheets are applied to various situations with fibrin glue have exhibited great clinical potential, and previous studies have reported safety and efficacy. We describe closure of a non-healing perforated duodenal ulcer with the use of a polyglycolic acid sheet and fibrin glue in an elderly patient who was not a candidate for surgery.

Polyglycolic acid sheet with fibrin glue potentiates the effect of a fibrin-based haemostat in cardiac surgery

BACKGROUND Hemorrhage from the left ventricle can be critical and sutureless repair using a fibrin-based haemostat (TachoComb) is one effective option. When active hemorrhage is not controlled by the haemostat, we have used a polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet and fibrin glue in addition. Here we investigated whether the PGA sheet and fibrin glue combined with TachoComb had stronger adhesive propert...
