Fibrin Sealant in Operative Medicine Volume 5: Thoracic Surgery — Cardiovascular Surgery

Fibrin plays a prominent role in wound healing. It has a hemostatic effect, induces cellular response to wound damage, and, by forming strands to build a matrix, assists in neovascularization and fibroblast proliferation. The concept of using clotting substances from human blood for wound manage­ me...
