Acceptable long-term survival with GRF glue in acute type A dissection repair; leaves open the influence of underlying aortopathy on late outcomes.
What are the long-term outcomes of using Gelatine-Resorcine-Formaline (GRF) biological glue during emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection?
The use of GRF biological glue during emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection is associated with acceptable long-term survival, though late outcomes depend heavily on underlying conditions such as Marfan's syndrome.
Kalangos et al. (1997) studied this question.
