   The study, entitled "Clinical Utility of BioGlue Surgical Adhesive in Patients Implanted with Ventricular Assist Devices," included 21 consecutive patients and was presented by John D. Blizzard, M.D., Assistant Professor of Surgery, Oregon Health and Science University.VAD surgery is a life-saving procedure for heart failure patients awaiting a donor heart for transplant.
   
   The study also showed that the use of BioGlue to mechanically seal the connections between the device and the patient's cardiovascular system was not related to any short- or long-term adverse event.Furthermore, the use of BioGlue did not increase the difficulty of the VAD removal and transplant procedure, according to the authors.
