Brief Summary
Present trial is the third study that in combination with two completed studies (one being a trial in hepatic resection surgery also comparing TachoSil® and Surgicel® Original) targeted toward providing clinical safety and efficacy data to support extending the current label of TachoSil® to a general hemostasis indication across several surgical procedures and organ systems in the USA.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants With Intra-operative Hemostasis at the Evaluation Site Within 3 Minutes After Application of the Randomized Treatment
After application of Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) light pressure was applied to the IMP with e.g. gauze pads. The first assessment of hemostasis was at minute 3: the pressure was carefully relieved, and the area was observed for visual bleeding at the site of the IMP. If no bleeding was visible, hemostasis was obtained and recorded.
Within 3 minutes
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of Participants With Intra-operative Hemostasis at the Evaluation Site Within 5 Minutes After Application of the Randomized Treatment
Within 5 minutes
Time to Intra-operative Hemostasis Within 10 Minutes at the Evaluation Site After Application of the Randomized Treatment
Within 10 minutes
Study Arms (2)
TachoSil®
EXPERIMENTALTachoSil® absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The patches were lightly compressed against the suture line for 3 minutes. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated.
Surgicel® Original
ACTIVE COMPARATORSurgicel® Original absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The patches were lightly compressed against the suture line for 3 minutes. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated.
Interventions
TachoSil® is a sterile, ready-to-use, absorbable patch for intra-operative topical application. It consists of an equine collagen patch coated with fibrin glue components: human fibrinogen and human thrombin.
Surgicel® Original is an absorbable hemostat (oxidized regenerated cellulose)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Planned elective and subacute procedures with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft including at least one expected end-to-side anastomosis of a PTFE graft to the femoral artery (e.g. femoral-femoral cross-over, aorto-(bi)femoral, axillo-(bi)femoral, femoro-popliteal, femoro-crural bypass grafting), a PTFE patch angioplasty of the femoral artery, or an end-to-side anastomosis of a PTFE graft to an upper extremity artery in connection with arteriovenous bypass grafting for dialysis access.
- The evaluation site for the planned femoral anastomosis must be a de novo site.
- The participant must be heparinized during surgery.
- Intra-operatively (before randomization)
- The participant has a need for secondary hemostatic treatment
- Verification of the evaluation site being a de novo site
- Verification of the surgical procedure performed as being either an end-to-side or PTFE patch angioplasty.
You may not qualify if:
- Thrombolytic therapy administered within 12 hours before surgery (e.g. the recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) Alteplase).
- Liver cirrhosis.
- Intra-operatively (before randomization)
- Severe bleeding at the anastomosis of the arterial bypass using PTFE graft prosthesis or the PTFE patch angioplasty
- No bleeding (dry surgical field) at the targeted application area
- Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC)
- Application of topical hemostatic material including fibrin sealant/glue on the evaluation site.
