Category: About Trasylol

Trasylol has been used in heart surgeries around the world since 1993. It is a popular anti-bleeding drug and has been used on potentially millions of patients. It had been approved by the FDA for use in heart bypass surgeries.

According to the FDA this is how Trasylol works:

Trasylol works to slow or prevent bleeding, and is used to reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusion during some types of heart surgeries. Trasylol is made from the lung tissue of cattle.

Trasylol was used in heart valve replacment surgery when it was not approved by the FDA for this use. There have been many reports of kidney failure and death following heart valve replacement surgery in which Trasylol was used.

If you or a loved one was injured or killed following surgery in which Trasylol was used and you would like to speak with an attorney, please use the contact form on the right.
