Recombinant FVIIa at 80 or 200 μg kg⁻¹ promoted the sealing of a large and slightly compressed arterial wound in rabbits. These results suggest a potential role for the drug in the management of massive bleeds due to an arterial lesion when surgical intervention is not immediately and readily available. Safety should remain a matter of concern.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
