Randomized Controlled Trial
Tranexamic acid in open aortic aneurysm surgery: a randomised clinical trial.
Bleeding and transfusions affect mortality in aortic surgery. Although tranexamic acid significantly reduced bleeding in multiple settings, its role in major vascular surgery was never studied. The aim of this study was to determine if tranexamic acid reduces blood loss in open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery. ⋯ NCT02335359.
