Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that the addition of a protein solder to augment the laser tissue weld significantly improves postoperative results. Herein we describe a method for the preparation of human albumin for use as a laser tissue solder. We also review the brief history of laser tissue solders and discuss recent advances using this technology. Β© 1993 WileyβLiss, Inc.

Background/Objective: Current albumin solders for tissuewelding are soluble in physiological fluids, prior to laser irradiation. These solders are therefore subjected to mechanical alterations, which can weaken the solder-tissue repair. In this study, an albumin solder (laser activated) was develope
## Abstract ## Background Laser tissue soldering (LTS) is an alternative technique to suturing for tissue repair that avoids foreign body reaction and provides immediate sealing of the wound. One of the major drawbacks of LTS, however, is the weak tensile strength of the solder welds when compared
## Background and Objectives: To improve minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery (MID-CAB), new techniques of vascular anastomosis that are faster and more reliable need to be developed. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Common carotids in a canine model were transected and an e
