متن کاملSalvage use of activated recombinant factor VII in the management of refractory bleeding following cardiac surgery
BACKGROUND Refractory post cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) bleeding continues to cause concern for cardiac surgeons and intensivists. Massive postoperative hemorrhage following CPB is multifactorial and not fully understood, and it is also associated with increased mortality and morbidity.

متن کاملOff-Label Use of Recombinant Activated Factor VII (NovoSeven®)
NovoSeven® (Novo Nordisk, Denmark) is a recombinant DNA preparation of activated blood coagulation factor VII (rFVIIa). It is used to manage bleeding in hemophilia patients for whom standard therapy is inadequate because of the presence of inhibitors to either factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B). It poses no risk for the transmission of human pathogens, and it is infused in r...
