Sutureless Repair for Iliac Vein Bleeding Using an Elastomeric Sealant

Abstract

Addressing venous bleeding is a frequent complication of vascular and abdominopelvic surgeries. We present a novel sutureless repair technique using Hydrofit (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan), an elastomeric sealant. In a patient experiencing common iliac vein bleeding during abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery, this technique successfully achieved complete hemostasis. By applying the elastomeric sealant with an autologous arterial patch to the bleeding site, we demonstrate the simplicity and effectiveness of sutureless hemostasis for venous bleeding.
