What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of ARISTA-AH in restoring hemostasis in patients undergoing long-segment posterior spinal fusion. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ARISTA-AH or no treatment during their surgery. The study will include patients who require surgery on at least five adjacent vertebrae and will utilize a surgical drain. The aim is to determine if ARISTA-AH can significantly reduce bleeding complications during and after the procedure.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults eligible for posterior lumbar or thoraco-lumbar long-segment spinal fusion involving at least five adjacent vertebrae.

Not a fit: Patients under 18, those with known hemostatic disorders, or individuals with contraindications to ARISTA-AH will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced complications related to bleeding in spinal fusion surgeries.

How similar studies have performed: While there is ongoing research into hemostatic agents in surgical settings, the specific use of ARISTA-AH in spinal fusion is a novel approach.
