Late complications following surgery for type A acute aortic dissection using gelatin-resorcin-formaldehyde glue: report of two cases.
Gelatin-resorcin-formaldehyde (GRF) glue has been widely applied during operations for acute aortic dissection (AAD). At our institution, GRF glue was applied in 40 patients who underwent surgical procedures for AAD from 1995, two of whom needed a reoperation because of the development of a redissection and/or a pseudoaneurysm at the anastomotic sites. The operative findings and histological examinations suggested that the application of GRF glue during the initial operations might be related to the development of a redissection and/or a pseudoaneurysm.
