Tracheal repair with fibrin glue

HB Kram, WC Shoemaker, ST Hino, HS Chiang, DP Harley and AW Fleming

This animal study evaluated Fibrin Sealant, a multicomponent biologic adhesive, in tracheal operations. We conclude that the use of Fibrin Sealant in tracheal reconstruction results in a stable, leakless trachea, has good systemic and local compatibility, promotes tracheal wound healing, and reduces significantly the number of sutures required for end-to-end anastomosis.
