The n-butyl cyanoacrilate in partial lung lobectomy in cats. Experimental study RESUMO O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a viabilidade do n-butil cianoacrilato na pneumostasia ABSTRACT The n-butyl cyanoacrilate tissue adhesive was used in this study aiming to verify the viability of its use for hemostasis and to avoid air leakage in partial l u n g l o b e c t o m y.
