Abstract

Several surgical sealant devices are commercially available after their rigorous clinical testing with no apparent complications up-to-now reported in the current literature. Cyanoacrylate glue can be used to stabilize the anastomoses and to permit a better tensile strength in cardiovascular surgery. We first report the case of a 71-year old male patient presenting with symptoms of progressive limitation of walking distance, 13-month after a successful femoro-infrapopliteal bypass surgery, because of a calcified tissue extrinsically stenosizing the first segment of the previous bypass graft, caused by the use of cyanoacrylate glue.
