Late Sterile Abscess Formation in Carotid Endarterectomy Following Use of BioGlue: A Word of Caution

چکیده
Introduction BioGlue (CryoLife Inc., Kennesaw, GA) is a commonly used surgical adhesive, designed to achieve haemostasis following large vessel cardiovascular operations. Report An 88-year-old female presents with an enlarging right sided neck mass 9 months after carotid endarterectomy with bovine pericardial patch repair which utilised BioGlue seal the patch suture line. Conclusion BioGlue should be used properly and with caution. In cases of late wound complication following BioGlue use, simple drainage, debridement, and removal of BioGlue remnants may be a satisfactory approach.

ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING OF CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS WITH EMBOLIC PROTECTION DEVICES
Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has recently been recommended as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) by some clinicians. Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the success rate and in-hospital and 30-day adverse events in our first experiences in Iran for CAS with protection devices, to document our results and guide further use of CAS. Methods: From December 2...
متن کاملPlatelet deposition at carotid endarterectomy sites in humans.
Following carotid endarterectomy, early postoperative thrombosis or late restenosis occurs in up to 20% of vessels. Both complications may be related to platelet mechanisms. To assess platelet deposition at endarterectomy sites, we injected indium-111 labelled platelets in 24 men less than 30 minutes after carotid endarterectomy, with subsequent imaging 24-96 hours later. To determine if deposi...

Background: Since there is a lack of research on postoperative anticoagulation protocol in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) / coronary endarterectomy (CE), we recommend a new protocol for anticoagulation in these patients. Methods: In this double-blind randomized clinical trial study, 52 patients undergoing CABG / CE entered the study and were divided into two groups. In...

PURPOSE Cerebral hyperperfusion following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) occurs in patients with preoperative impairments in cerebral hemodynamics. The aim of the present study was to determine whether late images/early images on preoperative brain (123)I-iomazenil (IMZ) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), which correlate with oxygen extraction fraction images on positron emission...

Similarly, severe active inflammation surrounding BioGlue and a foreign body reaction at three months following application has been demonstrated by Erasmi et al. [3]. BioGlue is relatively more fluid than gelatin-resorcinformalin (GRF) glue. In the supine patient who is undergoing aortic dissection repair, the left coronary ostium...
