Trasylol

A Trasylol lawyer in San Antonio who fights for victims

Trasylol, manufactured by Bayer, is administered through injection in major heart surgeries to suppress blood loss. Trasylol contains aprotinin, a substance used to prevent bleeding that makes a substance in the blood called plasmin inactive.

A 2006 study in the New England Journal of Medicine alleged that Trasylol, when used during bypass surgery, may double a patient's risk of kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and death. Bayer said the study was poorly conducted, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that doctors monitor patients who have been given Trasylol. In 2007, Bayer announced it was pulling the drug from the market after a Canadian study suggested that its use increased surgical complications and death rates.
