Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Subject was > 18 years of age. Scheduled for elective vascular surgery that entails
placement of a PTFE vascular graft including extra-anatomic, infrainguinal bypass, and
primary and secondary arteriovenous access procedures. Subject was willing and able to
comply with all aspects of the treatment and evaluation schedule. Informed of the nature
of the study, and has provided written informed consent, approved by the appropriate
Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the respective clinical site

Exclusion Criteria:

Subject had a known local or systemic infection. Subjects with known coagulopathies
including hemophilia, factor deficiencies, platelet count < 80,000 u/mL, heparin induced
thrombocytopenia or uncorrected INR > 1.5. Subject was participating in a clinical trial
that requires treatment with another investigational device or drug. Subject was
lactating or pregnant, or does not agree to use contraception for the duration of the
study. Subject had a known hypersensitivity to any components of bovine thrombin
preparations and/or material of bovine origin. The investigator determined that the

Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: N/A
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Intervention(s)
Device: Gelfoam/Thrombin
Device: VascuSeal
Primary Outcome(s)
The primary effectiveness endpoint is sealing success defined as complete anastomotic suture line sealing within 10 minutes following restoration of blood flow without use of an adjunctive hemostatic technique different from the assigned treatment. [Time Frame: intra-operative]
Secondary Outcome(s)
At each site, time to hemostasis was determined from the time circulation was restored after treatment application until bleeding had stopped (assessed at intervals of 1, 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 minutes). [Time Frame: intra-operative]
The proportion of immediate sealing successes at treated anastomoses by treatment group, with immediate sealing success defined as a site with no suture line bleeding after blood flow is restored [Time Frame: intra-operative]
The proportion of overall sealing successes (within 10 minutes) at treated anastomoses in each treatment group. [Time Frame: intra-operative]
Time to wound closure was determined, with wound closure defined as the elapsed time between initial clamp removal at the last anastomotic site until skin closure. [Time Frame: intra-operative]
