Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Hemostasis at 4 Minutes Post Treatment Application.

    Hemostasis at the study suture line must be maintained until closure of the surgical wound.

    4 minutes post start of treatment application

  • Hemostasis at 4 Minutes After Treatment Application at the Suture Line by Bleeding Severity - Moderate Bleeding

    Investigators were shown videos of bleeding severities to standardize assessments. Moderate bleeding defined as: * Either \>25% of the suture line bleeds, or * ≥5 suture line bleedings were present, if counting of suture line bleedings was possible, or * 1 pulsatile suture line bleeding was present.

    4 minutes post start of treatment application

  • Hemostasis at 4 Minutes After Treatment Application at the Suture Line by Bleeding Severity - Severe Bleeding

    Investigators were shown videos of bleeding severities to standardize assessments. Severe bleeding defined as: * Either \>50% of the suture line bleeds, or * ≥10 suture line bleedings were present, if counting of suture line bleedings was possible, or * \>1 pulsatile suture line bleeding was present, or * ≥1 spurting suture line bleeding was present.

    4 minutes post start of treatment application

Secondary Outcomes (23)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Hemostasis at 6 Minutes Post Treatment Application

    6 minutes post start of treatment application

  • Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Hemostasis at 10 Minutes Post Treatment Application

    10 minutes post start of treatment application

  • Percentage of Participants With Intraoperative Rebleeding After Hemostasis at Study Suture Line

    Intraoperative day 0

  • Percentage of Participants With Postoperative Rebleeding

    Postoperative through day 30 ± 5

  • Percentage of Participants With Graft Occlusion

    post-op discharge/day 1, post-op day 14 and day 30

  • +18 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

FS VH S/D 500 s-apr

EXPERIMENTAL

FS VH S/D 500 s-apr will be applied to the study suture line.

Biological: Fibrin Sealant, Vapor Heated, Solvent/Detergent-treated with 500 IU/ml thrombin and synthetic aprotinin (FS VH S/D 500 s-apr)

Manual compression with surgical gauze pads

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Dry gauze pads will be positioned to cover the complete study suture line.

Other: Surgical gauze pads

Interventions

The actual dose of FS VH S/D 500 s-apr will depend on the length of the suture line and the intensity of bleeding (but shall not exceed 4 mL FS VH S/D 500 s-apr).

Also known as: Biological two-component fibrin sealant
FS VH S/D 500 s-apr

Manual compression with surgical gauze pads

Manual compression with surgical gauze pads

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects undergoing vascular surgery (ie, conduit placement with an ePTFE graft), including arterio-arterial bypasses, including:
  • axillo-femoral
  • axillo-bifemoral
  • aorto-bifemoral
  • ilio-femoral
  • femoro-femoral
  • ilio-popliteal
  • femoro-popliteal (including below knee)
  • femoro-tibial vessel bypass
  • arterio-venous shunting for dialysis access in the upper or lower extremity
  • Signed informed consent
  • Subject is of childbearing potential, presents with a negative serum or urine pregnancy test, and agrees to employ adequate birth control measures for the duration of the study.
  • Subject is willing and able to comply with the requirements of the protocol.
  • Suture line bleeding eligible for study treatment is present after surgical hemostasis (ie, suturing). (A definition of eligible suture line bleeding is provided in the study protocol.)

You may not qualify if:

  • Other vascular procedures during the same surgical session (stenting and/or endarterectomy of the same artery are allowed)
  • Congenital coagulation disorders
  • Prior kidney transplantation
  • Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
  • Known hypersensitivity to heparin
  • Known hypersensitivity to aprotinin or other components of the product
  • Known severe congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (eg, HIV infection or long-term treatment with immunosuppressive drugs (eg, organ transplantation patients)
  • Prior radiation therapy to the operating field
  • Severe local inflammation at the operating field
  • Subject is pregnant or lactating at the time of enrollment
  • Subject has participated in another clinical study involving an investigational product (IP) or investigational device within 30 days prior to enrollment or is scheduled to participate in another clinical study involving an IP or investigational device during the course of this study
  • Subject has previously participated in this study (Protocol No.: 550801), ie, each subject can only be enrolled once.
  • Major intraoperative complications that require resuscitation or deviation from the planned surgical procedure
