['The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy and feasibility of direct injection of fibrin sealant into the sternal marrow cavity in senior patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).', 'A total of 82 senior patients undergoing on-pump CABG were randomized to the bone wax group (n=40) or the fibrin sealant group (n=42) for the period July 2010 to January 2011.', 'The fibrin sealant-treated group had less chest drainage in the first 24 hours (186.67±49.53 versus 333.75±60.49 mL), less total chest drainage (326.19±67.24 versus 516±88.46 mL), less packed red blood cell (PRBC) administration (3.6±1.25 versus 7.4±2.13 U), less fresh frozen plasma (FFP) administration (5.52±1.64 versus 8.95±1.77 U), shorter intubation time (40.36±8.62 versus 46.25±10.46 hours), and shorter hospital stay (10.45±1.17 versus 11.03±1.37 days) compared with the bone wax group. No significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications was found.'] Does fibrin sealant provide superior hemostasis for sternotomy compared with bone wax?
