摘要
Aprotinin has been reported to reduce blood loss in difficult cases requiring cardiopulmonary bypass surgery and more recently in liver transplantation. Over a 9-month period we compared the effects of an intra-operative infusion of aprotinin on transfusion requirements and coagulation profiles in 12 patients undergoing liver transplantation for end-stage cirrhosis with an equal number of consecutive transplants in patients with similar pathology who did not receive aprotinin. Transfusion of blood and blood products was reduced to one-third in the aprotinin-treated group. Operative time was also significantly reduced, as was ICU stay post-operatively. Aprotinin profoundly inhibits fibrinolysis and this is likely to be the major effect by which blood loss is reduced. Thromboelastography revealed severe fibrinolytic changes in the anhepatic stage in 4 of 6 controlled patients; this accelerated in 3 following reperfusion of the new graft. By contrast, only 1 patient of 12 in the aprotinin-treated group showed fibrinolytic activity in the anhepatic period, and none showed evidence of fibrinolysis following reperfusion of the new graft.
