EVERREST patch is used to control the bleeding in preparation for a thoracotomy

Figure 9. Injury to the proximal pulmonary artery during robotic left upper lobectomy. Due to the inability to obtain direction
compression of the injury, the rolled sponge with EVERREST patch is not sufficient for controlling the bleeding. It is used to control the
bleeding in preparation for a thoracotomy. LUL: left upper lobe; AO: aortic arch

Figure 10. Injury to the proximal pulmonary artery during robotic left upper lobectomy. The robotic arms are removed. Bleeding is
controlled by pressure on the EVERREST patch. The assistant introduces a suction introduced through the accessory port, while the
surgical team converts to a thoracotomy
