Abstract
In 144 patients with bleeding disorders and in 11 patients with normal coagulation, 517 wound sealings were performed using the fibrin adhesion system (FAS) with the primary object of local hemostasis. Excellent results were obtained in patients with bleeding disorders caused by impaired thrombocyte function or anticoagulant therapy. Replacement therapy or the withdrawal of anticoagulant medication was thereby avoided. Ultimate hemostasis in patients with hemophilia was achieved by fibrin sealing in combination with low-dose replacement therapy with clotting factor concentrates. Though the risk of hepatitis transmission cannot be completely ruled out, the advantages, such as excellent tissue tolerance, complete resorption, and a wide spectrum of practical uses, speak in favor of the use of this physiologic tissue adhesive.
