Trasylol Heart Attacks & Stroke Injury Studies Trigger FDA Evaluation
Recent published Trasylol studies have reported an increased risk of heart attack, kidney failure and stroke in open heart surgery patients treated with aprotinin. The FDA is conducting a safety review of Trasylol and has published recommendations to healthcare providers.
Aprotinin (Trasylol) is used during cardiac surgery to help reduce bleeding in high-risk patients. The risk of suffering a stroke is 181 percent greater for patients taking Trasylol, compared to those taking generic alternatives or no medication at all, a recent study has discovered. Aprotinin stroke is just one of the serious and life-threatening risks disclosed in a January 2006 study appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers have found that aprotinin increases risk of heart attack by 55% and results in a 181% increased risk of stroke or encephalopathy.
Trasylol Heart Attack, Stroke & Kidney Failure Side Effects
The medical researcher, Dr. Dennis Mangano, estimates that 22,000 patient lives could have been saved if Trasylol had been removed from the market when his January 2006 study was first published. Given that there are much safer and less expensive alternative heart surgery drugs one has to question the potential risk that patients were exposed to during their surgery.
