Two new techniques effectively control local bleeding from the heart during
heart operations. Both act by achieving local tamponade of the bleeding but
through different mechanisms. In the first, a glove containing a sponge is
placed against the bleeding site to provide local pressure. In the second,
application of focal, high vacuum suction causes forceful apposition of
adjacent soft tissue. These methods have stopped bleeding in 7 patients in
whom conventional methods failed.
