The purpose of this animal study was to determine if tissue glue-coated collagen sponge is an effective barrier method to prevent localized adhesions in a modified rabbit sidewall model. Rabbits were divided into two groups and underwent laparotomy with subsequent creation of a cecal wound according to the rabbit sidewall model. Rabbits of group I (treatment group; n = 10) were treated with a TachoComb H patch placed on the defect, whereas group II animals (control group; n = 6) did not receive further treatment. All animals were sacrificed 2 weeks postoperatively and adhesions were evaluated using special adhesion score. A further six rabbits underwent TachoComb H application at the cecum to investigate the histological changes during a course of 12 weeks. The average adhesion scores were significantly (P < 0.05) reduced in the treatment group compared to the controls. Histologically the TachoComb H patch was surrounded by granulation tissue without signs of infection. Tissue glue-coated collagen sponge (TachoComb H) is effective to prevent localized intraabdominal adhesions in the modified rabbit sidewall model.

Background/objective: Broad-based sidewall aneurysms of the carotid artery are primarily treated endovascularly. However, recurrence or rupture after treatment still poses a significant risk. Hence, reliable animal models mimicking this aneurysm type are essential for to evaluate the performance of new advanced endovascular devices.

Background: Bioresorbable polymer-based flow-diverting stents have potential benefits over existing metal devices. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel ReSolv device, which is a primarily polymer-based flow-diverting stent, using the in vivo rabbit sidewall saccular aneurysm model.
Methods: ReSolv stents were deployed in 14 New Zealand White rabbits that had undergone aneurysm creation procedures.

Acute or chromic bleeding, such as epistaxis, requires hemostatic materials to assist hemostasis. Even in complex cases, hemostatic materials must have other functions, including the promotion of healing and prevention of adhesion. Herein, a series of fibrosis-suppressive functional cRGD-modified crosslinking hyaluronic acid sponges were prepared.

Article Synopsis
- - Biological processes involved in aneurysm formation, growth, and rupture are not well understood, with inflammation and degeneration of vessel walls being key factors suggested for study.
- - The research involved creating both vital and decellularized aneurysms in rabbits, where none ruptured and sidewall aneurysms showed complete thrombosis but with less organized thrombus in decellularized samples.
- - In a bifurcation model, half of decellularized aneurysms experienced thrombosis, while vital ones grew in size, highlighting the important role that mural cells play in healing and indicating that certain factors might limit aneurysm growth despite inflammation.
