CARRAL NOVO, Juan et al. Systemic effects of the application of n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate on experimental vascular microsurgery. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2006, vol.35, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3046.

The usefulness of n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate in vascular microsurgery was assessed, the evolution in the closure of vascular wounds was compared, and the visceral and hematological behaviour was analysed. A cohort randomized prospective study was performed (1 and 6 months) in 65 male Wistar rats: sound controls (n= 10), study (n= 28), and positive controls (n= 27). Cyanoacrylate was applied in the abdominal aorta using three retention stitches. The evolution was compared with the classic suture with polypropylene 8/0. The histological, visceral, and blood repercussion was studied. There was a similar evolution by using both methods. Degradation of cyanoacrylate was observed at 6 months. The utilization of the adhesive neither influence on the evolution of the cases, nor produce toxicity.
