Overview
The study aims to evaluate the effect of the hemostatic matrix with fibrinogen and thrombin (TachoSil®) on vena cava inferior anastomoses during liver transplantation from a deceased donor.
The research comprises two groups: an experimental cohort with patients receiving a hemostatic matrix of fibrinogen and thrombin on the anastomotic line of the inferior vena cava, and a control cohort utilizing hemostasis without matrix sealent. The study involves a total of 170 participants, evenly distributed with 85 patients in each group.
Description
Studies have shown that materials containing fibrin shorten the time to hemostasis in the case of planned liver resection, but did not show a significant effect on the occurrence of postoperative bleeding. The aim of the study is to supplement knowledge about hemostatic matrices in liver transplantation, which will be used for the inferior vena cava anastomosis.
