    The primary endpoint was absence of leak (success) within 40 days. Any data missing was considered failures. 3 EVICEL and 2 SoC subjects had missing data. These subjects were considered failures for the primary endpoint. The secondary endpoint was incidence of leak within 90 days post operatively. Missing data was not assumed to be leaks.
