Bleeding remains an important complication after repeat and complicated cardiac surgery. Although aprotinin has recently been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use as an antifibrinolytic agent, many surgeons continue to have concerns about its added cost and potential side effects. We review here the current state of antifibrinolytic therapy for excessive bleeding in cardiothoracic surgery and suggest the use of a single intravenous dose of 10 g of epsilon-aminocaproic acid immediately before cardiopulmonary bypass as a safe, inexpensive, and effective alternative to aprotinin. Further clinical and laboratory studies are needed to confirm or modify this protocol.
在再次心脏手术和复杂心脏手术后,出血仍然是一个重要的并发症。尽管抑肽酶最近已获美国食品药品监督管理局批准用作抗纤溶药物,但许多外科医生仍对其增加的成本和潜在副作用感到担忧。我们在此回顾心胸外科手术中针对过度出血的抗纤溶治疗现状,并建议在体外循环前立即静脉注射单次剂量10克的ε-氨基己酸,作为抑肽酶的一种安全、廉价且有效的替代方法。需要进一步的临床和实验室研究来证实或修改该方案。
