  Healthy blood vessels are vital for delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. When they become narrowed, blocked, or damaged, vascular surgery may be needed to restore normal blood flow. Depending on the condition, treatment may include plaque removal, bypass surgery, aneurysm repair, or graft placement. Because these procedures involve direct work on blood vessels, effective bleeding control is an important part of the surgery 1,2 . However, achieving haemostasis can be challenging, depending on the procedure and the patient’s bleeding risk. Why Is Haemostasis Challenging During Vascular Surgery? Bleeding control can be challenging during open vascular surgery, particularly around anastomotic sites and delicate blood vessels. Bleeding may also arise from small vessels during dissection and closure. While suturing, vessel ligation, electrocautery and pressure are commonly used; persistent bleeding may sometimes require additional haemostatic support. Several factors c...
