TRANEXAMIC ACID COMPARED WITH HIGH-DOSE APROTININ IN PRIMARY ELECTIVE HEART OPERATIONS: EFFECTS ON PERIOPERATIVE BLEEDING AND ALLOGENEIC TRANSFUSIONS

---

Since excessive fibrinolysis during cardiac surgery is frequently associated with abnormal perioperative bleeding, many authors have advocated prophylactic use of antifibrinolytic drugs to prevent hemorrhagic disorders. We compared the effects of tranexamic acid (a synthetic antifibrinolytic drug) with aprotinin (a natural derivative product with antifibrinolytic properties) on perioperative bleeding and the need for allogeneic transfusions.
