Patients and families across the country are becoming aware of the devastating effects of Trasylol. Stroke, kidney failure, heart attack and death in patients are being reported in increasing numbers as hospital records are checked and it is discovered that Trasylol was used during open heart surgery.
On February 8, 2006, the FDA issued a public health advisory about Trasylol (also referred to as “Aprotinin”). The New England Journal of Medicine had earlier reported that the use of Trasylol during bypass heart surgery greatly increased the risk of stroke, kidney failure, heart attack and heart failure. This was compared to cheaper generic drugs that did not have the same serious health risks. Trasylol is a drug manufactured by Bayer that is used to help prevent excessive bleeding during open heart surgery.
Several months later it was revealed that Bayer had failed to disclose a study that showed these same side effects in patients who had received Trasylol. The Bayer sponsored study analyzed the records of 67,000 patients. 30,000 patients received Trasylol while 37,000 were given a generic drug. The findings of the study showed that the patients who were given Trasylol had a much great risk of kidney failure and death.
If you or a loved one has had open heart surgery and then experienced Trasylol kidney failure, heart failure or stroke, you may be able entitled to money damages. A Trasylol lawsuit attorney can help evaluate your claim.
