Three stapler groups were assessed: Group 1 – Ethicon ECHELON FLEXTM Powered Vascular Stapler (PVS), Group 2 – Medtronic Endo-GIATM iDriveTM powered stapler, Group 3 – Ethicon and Medtronic manual staplers.Results: Of 239 patients, 82 cases (34.3%) were Group 1, 94 cases (39.3%) were Group 2 and 63 cases (26.4%) were Group 3. Mean age was 68.3 years (range 36– 88 years), and most patients received video-assisted right upper lobectomy (82.8%). Bleeding occurred in 24 cases: 17 (70.8%) in Group 2 and 7 (29.2%) cases in Group 3. No bleeding occurred in Group 1. The loaded ECHELON FLEXTM PVS and Endo-GIATM iDriveTM with gray cartridge combinations had the greatest and smallest closed anvil jaw gaps (> 0.63 μm and < 0.15 μm, respectively); Endo-GIATM iDriveTM gray cartridge combinations resulted in ruptures of inner and middle membranes of the pulmonary artery. No ruptures were observed using the ECHELON FLEXTM PVS.Conclusion: An excessively narrow gap between cartridge and anvil may damage the blood vessel wall and lead to bleeding following transection. This study provides preliminary evidence that the use of the ECHELON FLEXTM PVS and tan cartridges for pulmonary artery stapling may help to prevent tissue damage and intraoperative bleeding.Keywords: surgery, stapler, pulmonary artery, bleedingTsunezuka YTanaka NFujimori HDove Medical Pressarticlesurgerystaplerpulmonary arterybleedingMedical technologyR855-855.5ENMedical Devices: Evidence and Research, Vol Volume 13, Pp 41-47 (2020)
