Transfusion requirements in orthotopic liver

Reduced transfusion requirements by recombinant factor VIIa in orthotopic liver transplantation: a pilot study.

BACKGROUND Large transfusion requirements, i.e., excessive blood loss, during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are correlated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recombinant factor VIIa (rF-VIIa) has been shown to improve hemostasis in a variety of conditions, but has never been studied in liver transplantation. METHODS We performed a single-center, open-label, pilot study in adult ...
