چکیده
PURPOSE The aim of this study is evaluate the efficacy of TachoSil patches in controlling suture-hole bleeding after elective infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) replacement with Dacron graft. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing elective replacement of infrarenal AAA with Dacron grafts were prospectively randomized to TachoSil patches (Group I) or standard compression with surgical swabs (Group II).We evaluated time to haemostasis, blood loss during the operation, blood loss after cross-clamp removal, duration of operation, drain volume, requirement for blood transfusion and surgeons rating of efficacy. RESULTS Twenty patients were randomized (10 patients in each treatment Group). The mean time to haemostasis was 264 +/- 127.1 s (range: 180-600 s) in Group I and 408 +/- 159.5 s (range: 120-720 s) in Group II (p = 0.026); mean blood loss during the operation was 503.5 +/- 20.7 cc (range: 474-545 cc) in Group I and 615.7 +/- 60.3 cc (range: 530-720 cc) in Group II (p < 0.001); mean blood loss after cross-clamp removal was 26.5 +/- 4 g (range: 22-34 g) in Group I and 45.4 +/- 4.6 (range: 38-52 g) in Group II (p < 0.001) and mean drain volume was 116.7 +/- 41.4 cc (range: 79-230 cc) in Group I and 134.5 +/- 42.8 cc (range: 101-250 cc) in Group II (p = 0.034). There were no serious adverse events associated with use of TachoSil patches. CONCLUSION For patients undergoing aortic reconstruction with Dacron grafts, TachoSil patches were found to be safe and effective for the control of suture-hole bleeding.

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

We describe a 74-year-old male who underwent open stent repair for an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with a severely calcified aortic neck. The stent graft was constructed by covering a 50-mm long Gianturco Z stent (diameter: 20 mm) with a Dacron prosthesis (diameter: 20 mm). The stented Dacron graft was inserted into the calcified aortic neck, was then sutured to the trimmed aneurysmal w...
