Abstract

Biological glue is increasingly used in cardiac surgery. We report a case of type A aortic dissection repair that was complicated by subsequent pulmonary embolism due to BioGlue® (Cryolife Inc, Hennesaw, GA, USA). To our knowledge this is the first report of a case with this complication. © 2011 Published by European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. All rights reserved.
