About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Hemorrhage focused on measuring Liver resection, Liver transplantation, Liver surgery, Secondary hemostasis
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Resection of at least the equivalent tissue volume of 1 anatomical segment of the liver
- Minor to moderate (oozing/diffuse) bleeding from the resection area persisting after conventional resection procedure and primary control of arterial pulsating bleeding or major venous hemorrhage by sutures, ligations, clips, vascular stapler, point electrocautery or focal radiofrequency ablation
- Need for additional supportive hemostatic treatment
- Expected ability to lightly press the trial treatment to the liver resection wound for 3 minutes
Exclusion Criteria:
- Indication for emergency surgery
- Known coagulopathy (as judged relevant by the investigator)
- Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the investigational medicinal products (e.g. human fibrinogen, human thrombin and/or collagen of any origin)
- Patient unwilling to receive blood products
- Known current alcohol or drug abuse
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, no use of acceptable contraceptive method in females of childbearing potential
- Dry surgical field of the targeted application area
- Occurrence of any serious surgical complication
- Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), i.e. microvascular bleeding
- Application of topical hemostatic material on the liver resection wound
- Radiofrequency precoagulation of the liver resection wound except focal radiofrequency ablation of vessels as primary hemostatic treatment

Arm Label
TachoSil®
Surgicel® Original
Arm Description
TachoSil® absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated.
Surgicel® Original absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percentage of Participants With Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 3 Minutes
3 Minutes after the patch was applied to the target bleeding area, the area was observed to see if the bleeding stopped.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Percentage of Participants With Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 5 Minutes
3, 4 and 5 minutes after the patch was applied to the target bleeding area, the area was observed to see if the bleeding stopped.
Time to Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site
The target bleeding area was observed at 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 minutes after the patch was applied to see if the bleeding stopped, and time in minutes until bleeding stopped was recorded.
