tranexamic acid is now used on a routine basis for on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). we assessed the hemostatic effects of tranexamic acid to decrease bleeding tendency and transfusion requirements in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (opcab). a total of 66 patients were enrolled to elective opcab in a double-blind, prospective randomized study. of these,...
