Advanced Hemostatics in the Management of Cerebral Dural Sinus Lacerations

Abstract

The authors reported their experience with 57 consecutive patients who were treated with this hemostatic technique to control bleeding from iatrogenic tears of the superior sagittal sinus or transverse/ sigmoid sinuses whenever standard maneuvers (eg, compression, oxidized cellulose, gelatin sponge) failed or were considered too time-consuming, inadequate, or risky.
