Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fibrin Sealant, Vapor Heated, Solvent/Detergent-treated with 500 IU/ml thrombin and synthetic aprotinin (FS VH S/D 500 s-apr) for hemostasis in participants receiving prosthetic expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) conduits as compared to a control group treated by manual compression with surgical gauze pads.

FS VH S/D 500 s-apr - 60-Seconds

Fibrin Sealant, Vapor Heated, Solvent/Detergent-treated with 500 IU/ml thrombin and synthetic aprotinin (FS VH S/D 500 s-apr) will be applied to the study suture line, 60-second polymerization time

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

FS VH S/D 500 s-apr, 60-seconds polymerization time

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

FS VH S/D 500 s-apr (FS) is applied to the study suture line. The actual dose of FS VH S/D 500 s-apr depends on the length of the suture line and the intensity of bleeding and is to be decided by the surgeon, but the maximum dose per suture line shall not exceed 4 mL FS VH S/D 500 s apr. After application of FS VH S/D 500 s-apr to the study suture line is completed, the surgeon will wait for 1 minute to allow polymerization of FS VH S/D 500 s-apr.

FS VH S/D 500 s-apr - 120-Seconds

FS VH S/D 500 s-apr will be applied to the study suture line, 120-second polymerization time

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

FS VH S/D 500 s-apr, 120-seconds polymerization time

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Treatment will be identical to the FS VH S/D 500 s-apr Group, 60 seconds polymerization time, except that the surgeons will wait 2 minutes to allow polymerization and will then open the cross clamps.

Control Group- Manual compression with surgical gauze pads

Treatment of the study-suture line will be manual compression with surgical gauze pads.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Manual compression with surgical gauze pads

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Treatment of the study suture line with manual compression with surgical gauze pads.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or female of all ages
* Subject undergoing peripheral vascular surgery, ie, conduit placement with an ePTFE graft such as arterio-arterial bypasses \[including: axillo-femoral, ilio-femoral, femoro-femoral, ilio-popliteal, femoro-popliteal (including below knee), femoro-tibial vessel bypass\], or arteriovenous dialysis access shunt in the upper or lower extremity.
* Signed informed consent

Intraoperative inclusion criterion:

\- Suture line bleeding eligible for study treatment is present after surgical hemostasis (i.e., suturing).

Suture line bleeding eligible for study treatment is defined as: any suture line bleeding that would prevent immediate closure of the wound and require treatment of the bleeding first, and on a scale of mild, moderate, and severe, the suture line bleeding is assessed as moderate or severe. (Moderate is defined as: either more than 25% of the suture line bleeds, or at least 5 suture line bleedings are present, if counting of suture line bleedings is possible, or one pulsatile suture line bleeding is present. Severe is defined as: either more than 50% of the suture line bleeds, or at least 10 suture line bleedings present, if counting of suture line bleedings is possible, or more than one pulsatile suture line bleedings are present, or at least one spurting suture line bleeding is present.)

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects concurrently participating in another clinical study treatment with another investigational drug or device within the last 30 days
* Other vascular procedures during the same surgical session (stenting and/or endarterectomy of the same artery are allowed)
* Arterio-arterial bypasses with more than 2 anastomoses (e.g., aorto-bifemoral, axillo-bifemoral etc.)
* Pregnant or lactating women
* Congenital coagulation disorders
* Prior kidney transplantation
* Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
* Known prior exposure to aprotinin within the last 12 months
* Known hypersensitivity to aprotinin or other components of the product
* Known severe congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (e.g., HIV infection or long term treatment with immunosuppressive drugs)
* Prior radiation therapy to the operating field
* Severe local inflammation at the operating field.

Intraoperative exclusion criterion:

* Major intraoperative complications that require resuscitation or deviation from the planned surgical procedure.
