Cyanoacrylate for Wound Closure in Prosthetic Vascular Graft Surgery to Prevent Infections Through Contamination

Abstract: Maintaining skin integrity after closure is of the utmost importance because contamination during the first hours of the procedure may cause PVGI. Cyanoacrylate seems to be a promising molecule not only because of its bacteriostatic effects, but also because it seals the barrier effectively and immediately.

“…[ [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Second, since cyanoacrylate closes the wound mechanically, bleeding is reduced and its effect is independent of the patient's hemostatic function. This may be of particular importance for diabetic patients with atherosclerotic or fragile vessels.…”

“…Aksoy et al [20] have shown that cyanoacrylates act as a barrier against microbial penetration and serve as an optimal wound dressing, creating a moist environment to enhance wound healing. In this study, the amount of perivascular inflammatory tissue after anastomosis and neointimal hyperplasia with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate was less than that with sutures only.…”

“…A liquid cyanoacrylate-based, microbial sealant has been designed as an adhesive skin barrier to seal residual bacteria on the skin and prevent bacterial contamination in surgical wounds. In one animal model [1] topical cyanoacrylate reportedly decreased bacterial contamination of the wound from the outside and in another animal model [3] cyanoacrylate microbial sealant decreased bacterial skin contaminations of surgical wounds compared with adhesive iodine-barrier drapes. In two studies, this type of Each author certifies that he or she has no commercial associations (eg, consultancies, stock ownership, equity interest, patent/licensing arrangements, etc) that might pose a conflict of interest in connection with the submitted article.…”
