Measure
EVICEL® Fibrin Sealant (Human)
All procedures were performed according to the surgeon's standard of care. EVICEL® Fibrin Sealant was prepared and used according to the current approved instructions for use and product indication. The anastomoses were constructed and checked for bleeding. Anastomotic repair sutures were placed and then, if bleeding requiring adjunctive treatment persisted, arterial clamps were re-applied. The surgeon then applied EVICEL® by dripping onto the anastomotic site/s according to his/her standard practice. Arterial clamps were removed approximately 1-minute following the end of product application to allow for curing. All subjects were followed for approximately 4 weeks following surgery.

n=300 participants at risk
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of the EVICEL® product. For the purpose of this protocol, an AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a study subject that may be related or possibly related to the EVICEL® product. The relatedness to EVICEL® was based on the investigator's assessment. In the original version of the protocol, the SAE definition did not require that the AE be related or possibly related to the treatment. This discrepancy with the AE definition resulted in the sites reporting non-EVICEL® related AEs and SAEs prior to the amended protocol implementation.
