Abstract:
Adhesions are a formidable challenge in patients undergoing reoperative cardiac surgery, particularly in those supported by an intracorporeal left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and undergoing heart transplantation. This report describes the pathological findings following the clinical use of a surgical sealant (CoSeal, Baxter Healthcare, Fremont, CA), in a patient who underwent LVAD implantation. On the treated surfaces, a minimal amount of adhesions were observed, whereas in untreated surfaces adhesions were present.
