[Tooth extraction in patients suffering from hemophilia A under the cover of cryoprecipitates and epsilon-aminocaproic acid].

Tooth extractions were carried out in 75 patients with haemophilia A after infusion of a single dose of cryoprecipitate and 4 g of epsilon-aminocaproic acid. During the 7-10 day period of follow-up, the patients received epsilon-aminocaproic acid by mouth. In 32 of 44 patients with severe or moderate haemophilia and in 22 of 31 patients with mild haemophilia, healing was uneventful and no bleeding complications occurred. Only in 5 patients with severe haemophilia and in 1 patient with mild heamophilia bleeding from tooth sockets was extensive enough to require further replacement therapy. The results show that epsilon-aminocaproic acid in conjunction with a single infusion of cryoprecipitate can insure hemostasis after dental extraction in patients with haemophilia A.
