The efficacy of the hemostatic agent Ankaferd blood stopper on end-to-end unilateral sleeve fish-mouth anastomosis
Abstract
Methods: Femoral artery end-to-end unilateral fish-mouth anastomosis models were created from the right and left femoral arteries of 14 male Wistar albino rats (weight: 250 to 300 grams) and divided into 2 equal groups. Rats in Group A received ABS and Group B was the control group. Rats were further divided into equal 2 subgroups, and anastomoses of rats in Group 1A and 1B were explored on the 7th day and on the 14th day in Group 2A and 2B. The groups were compared for anastomosis completion time, macroscopic and microscopic patency, existence of microaneurysm and inflammatory response.
Results: In the ABS group (1A and 2A), mean anastomosis completion time was 13:00±1.50 minutes, and 18:56±2.5 minutes in the control groups (1B and 2B). This difference was statistically significant (p=0.001).
Conclusion: Ankaferd Blood Stopper may be used to reduce the number of sutures and shorten the completion time of artery-to-artery anastomosis of arteries with small diameter and low blood flow rate.
