A New Hybrid Sutureless Patch Repair Utilizing Chitosan for Left Ventricle Rupture after Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report

Highlights • Many surgeons have recently reported that sutureless repair for left ventricular rupture can efficiently achieve hemostasis. However, this strategy is not always suitable for ruptures, where the myocardial tear is often large and bleeding is copious. • Recently, a novel HemCon Bandage h...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Many surgeons have recently reported that sutureless repair for left ventricular rupture can efficiently achieve hemostasis. However, this strategy is not always suitable for ruptures, where the myocardial tear is often large and bleeding is copious. • Recently, a novel HemCon Bandage has been shown to efficiently control aggressive hemorrhaging from severe traumatic injuries. • Hhemostasis completed before the use of a sutureless patch is helpful for stabilization and can be achieved using HemCon Bandages.
