Succesfull use of activated recombinant factor VII in life-threatening bleeding after thoracic surgery
We present three patients in whom life-threatening haemorrhage following lung resection was successfully managed using activated recombinant factor VII (NovoSeven((R))). In one case, activated recombinant factor VII was the only therapy administered to manage bleeding, ani in the two remaining cases, activated recombinant factor VII was administered after patients failed to respond to conventional therapy. All patients demonstrated effective haemostasis and improved coagulation parameters as a result of treatment with activated recombinant factor VII. Our experience with the clinical use of rFVIIa suggests that this agent may provide effective hemostasis following lifethreatening postoperative bleeding after major thoracic surgery. Despite these favorable results, randomized, placebo controlled trials are needed to identify optimal treatment strategy, patient selection, and safety of treatment in patients with massive bleeding following major thoracic surgery.
