LigaSure (Valleylab, Tyco Healthcare, Boulder, CO) is a novel instrument with widespread use in various surgical disciplines for vessel sealing. It uses heat energy to denature collagen and elastin and achieve vessel sealing. We investigated the safety of LigaSure in pulmonary arteries (PA) and veins (PV).
