Patients undergoing primary myocardial revascularization were randomized to
one of three drug regimens (low-dose aprotinin, epsilon- aminocaproic Acid
or tranexamic Acid) to determine which drug regimen would most effectively
reduce post-operative bleeding and the need for blood products. All
patients had received 325 mg of aspirin within 48 h before operation. All
three drug regimens reduced the requirements for blood products and
postoperative bleeding after coronary artery bypass operations. There was,
however, no significant difference between drug regimens.
