Surgicel ®-related uptake on positron emission topography scan mimicking prosthetic valve endocarditis
Ann Thorac Surg. 2021 Mar 4:S0003-4975(21)00428-8. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.02.046. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 78-year-old patient who underwent an aortic valve replacement, presented 6 months later with clinical picture suspicious for prosthetic valve endocarditis. Echocardiography did not show any features suggestive of endocarditis but a18F-FDG PET/CT scan showed an area of hyper-uptake around the ascending aorta. It was realized that sheet of Surgicel® hemostat was placed over the aortotomy suture line at the time of surgery. Another follow-up PET/CT scan performed 22 months later showed that the hyper-upta...

Application techniques of a novel hemostat in cardiac operations: HEMOBLAST
ConclusionHB is a novel powder ‐based multiple component hemostatic agent that promotes focal or large area hemostasis. We have presented the techniques of use that are important to the successful application of HB to facilitate hemostasis.

Microporous polysaccharide hemosphere absorbable hemostat use in cardiothoracic surgical procedures
We report our experience with Arista? AH Absorbable Hemostatic Particles (Arista? AH), a novel plant-based microporous polysaccharide hemostatic powder. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected for patients (n?=?240) that received cardiothoracic surgery at our institution from January 2009 to January 2013 with (n?=?103) or without (n?=?137) the use of Arista? AH. Endpoints included protamine to skin closure time (hemostasis time), cardiopulmonary bypass time, quantity of Arista? AH applied, intraoperative blood product usage, intraoperative blood loss, chest tube output 48?hours postoperatively, blood products required...

P-236 * the optimum sheet for combined application of fibrin sealant and bioabsorbable sheet against alveolar air leakage
Conclusions 0.15 mm PGA felt was the optimum sheet in Rub + Soak B technique, followed by knitted Vicryl mesh. Tachosil with FS was comparable to them in this model. Further studies are needed to determine responses in living tissue and SBP over time in vivo. Disclosure This study was supported by CSL Behring Co.
