Medical glue vs. internal bleeding: a new hope?
NCT ID NCT07753005
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at how well a medical glue called Histoacryl stops bleeding from arteries in the chest or abdomen. It will follow adults in Japan who receive this treatment during routine care to see if it works and is safe. The main goal is to check if bleeding stops within a month without needing another procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Histoacryl (a medical glue used to block bleeding arteries)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm Histoacryl as a reliable option to stop internal bleeding without surgery, potentially improving outcomes for patients with severe hemorrhage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it doesn't test against a comparison group. Results may vary in real-world settings, and there are risks like incomplete blockage or need for repeat procedures.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adults with active thoracoabdominal arterial bleeding requiring endovascular embolization will be enrolled at approximately 11 centers in Japan. Eligible patients must be scheduled to undergo embolization with Histoacryl® according to routine clinical practice and within the approved indication in Japan. The study population is expected to include patients with bleeding of various etiologies, including traumatic, iatrogenic, gastrointestinal, pulmonary (hemoptysis), obstetric, neoplastic, or other thoracoabdominal arterial hemorrhages.

Inclusion Criteria: * Active thoracoabdominal arterial bleeding diagnosed by endoscopy, catheter angiography, or computed tomography angiography (CTA). * Planned embolization treatment using Histoacryl® as the sole embolic agent for the target lesion. * No endoleak following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) or endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR). * Patients with malignant tumors must have an expected survival of at least 1 month. * Written informed consent obtained from the patient or a legally authorized representative. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous embolization in the target vascular territory. * Known allergy or hypersensitivity to n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA), Lipiodol®, or related treatment components. * Use of adjunctive embolic agents in the same target location. * Planned surgical treatment after embolization as part of a predefined two-step treatment strategy. * Severe septicemia. * Participation in another clinical trial. * Target vessels unsuitable for safe Histoacryl® injection. * Empiric embolization without identification of a target bleeding location. * Pregnancy, with the exception of patients treated for postpartum hemorrhage.
