Use of mesh fibrous dressing covered with fibrin glue (TachoComb) in hemostasis after vascular anastomoses in the groin.
We present in this paper application of haemostatic device TachoComb onto bleeding after vascular anastomosis of dacron vascular prosthesis (branch of aortobifemoral or bypass aortofemoral) with common femoral artery in the groin. Hemorrhagic complications have influence onto clinical status of operated patients. Haemostatic TachoComb dressing was applied at 30 cases and results were compared to control group consist of 25 cases, in which gas compresses were applied. Mean loss blood in group I with the usage of TachoComb was statistical characteristic (p < 0.003) smallest than in group II. Also mean time of hemostasis was shortest than in group II (p < 0.01). We proved that use of TachoComb limits bleeding from suture line connecting artery with vascular prosthesis.
