[Fibrin glue in cardiovascular surgery]

A variant of fibrin glue has been designed. This glue can be prepared on the basis of cryoprecipitation in departments of blood transfusion (fibrinogen concentration 60-90 g/l). The glue has been used in urgent abdominal and cardiac surgery in particular for facilitation of hemostasis after sternotomy and suturing of the aorta, pulmonary artery and atria.
