Sažetak
We read with a great interest the recently published retrospective propensity-matched analysis by Goksedef and colleagues, 1 who matched 58 cardiac surgical patients in a recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa)–treated group (n = 29) and a control group (n = 29). Patients were compared with respect to reexploration, mortality, bleeding-related events, use of blood and blood products, duration of intensive care unit stay, duration of hospitalization, and thrombotic complications.1 We agree with the statement of Goksedef and colleagues1 that strategies to prevent coagulopathic bleeding are essential for the successful management of patients undergoing complex aortic operations.
