Several surgical sealant devices are commercially available after their rigorous clinical testing with no apparent complications reported so far in the current literature. Cyanoacrylate glue can be used to stabilize the anastomoses and permit a better tensile strength in cardiovascular surgery. We first report the case of a 71-year-old male patient presenting with symptoms of progressive limitation of walking distance, 13 months after a successful femoroinfrapopliteal bypass surgery, because of a calcified tissue extrinsically stenosizing the first segment of the previous bypass graft, caused by the use of cyanoacrylate glue.
