Trasylol Side EffectsDrug Used During Heart Surgery Caused Kidney Failure, Heart Attack & StrokeStudy Links Trasylol to Kidney Failure A study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine (January 2006) states that heart bypass patients who were given Trasylol during surgery had a greatly increased risk of kidney failure, heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. The study was conducted on an international level involving more then 4,300 patients. The study further determined that in multiple instances the administration of Trasylol during surgery was unnecessary and only marginally effective to controlling bleeding. Major Risks of Trasylol
What is Trasylol?Trasylol (generic name Aprotinin) is manufactured by Bayer Pharmaceuticals and was approved for use in the United States by the FDA in 1993. Trasylol is used during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery to reduce perioperative blood loss and the need for blood transfusion. Amicar and Cykokapron are two available generic alternatives to Trasylol which have not been found to produce dangerous side effects. How Does Trasylol work?Trasylol works to control bleeding during heart surgery by blocking enzymes that dissolve blood clots.
