Type A Aortic Dissection (where the use of BioFoam is limited to the anastomotic site)

Brief summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study designed to collect clinical data to support the safety and effectiveness of BioFoam used as a surgical adjunct to anastomotic hemostasis following cardiovascular surgery. The overall objective of this clinical study is to collect clinical data supporting the safety and effectiveness of BioFoam used as a surgical adjunct to anastomotic hemostasis following cardiovascular surgery. This study is intended as a post-market surveillance (follow-up) study.

Inclusion criteria

* Subject is undergoing an elective cardiac or cardiovascular procedure; * Subject is willing and able to give prior written informed consent for investigation participation; and * Subject is \> 18 years of age. Intraoperative inclusion criteria include: • Subject that requires the use of an adjunctive surgical hemostatic agent to the repair site to control generalized oozing following standard repair procedures (such as sutures and staples).

Exclusion criteria

* • Subject with known hypersensitivity to albumin, bovine products, or glutaraldehyde; * Subject with active infection (either systemic or in the repair region); * Subject whose pathology or underlying disease state makes them an unacceptable candidate for a clinical investigation in the opinion of the Investigator; * Subject diagnosed with a coagulation disorder; * Subject with abnormal calcium metabolism (e.g., chronic renal failure, hyperparathyroidism); * Subject whose life expectancy is less than that required for the prescribed follow-up duration; * Subject who is pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant during the follow-up period, or actively breast-feeding; or * Subject who is immunocompromised.
