A real-world study evaluating the safety and utility of a two-row stapler reload on pulmonary vasculature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic staplers are common surgical devices used for the ligation and division of vasculature in thoracic procedures. When a stapler ligates and divides pulmonary vasculature, potentially catastrophic intraoperative bleeding at the staple-line may occur. The aim of this study was to confirm the safety and discuss the utility of a two-row stapler reload, by assessing the incidence of clinically necessary intraoperative hemostatic intervention when applied to pulmonary vasculature in real-world applications.

Methods

This study was designed as a prospective non-comparative registry study conducted in seven centers across the United States, to confirm the safety and performance of Signia™ Small Diameter Reloads (SDR) when used for indicated thoracic surgical proce
