Autologous fibrin sealant (Vivostat^®) in the neurosurgical practice: Part I: Intracranial surgical procedure

Abstract

In this preliminary study, the easy and direct application of autologous fibrin sealant agent helped in controlling cerebral bleeding and in providing prompt and efficient dural sealing with resolution of CSF leaks. Although the use of autologous fibrin glue seems to be safe, easy, and effective, further investigations are strongly recommended to quantify real advantages and potential limitations.
