Trasylol (Aprotinin), a drug manufactured by Bayer, is used to reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusion in patients undergoing complicated surgery such as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in the course of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).
Studies have linked the use of Trasylol to an increased risk of the following side effects following surgery:
- KIDNEY DAMAGE CAUSING DIALYSIS
- RENAL FAILURE
- HEART ATTACKS
- STROKES
- DEATH
Many people who have suffered serious health problems following surgery do not even know that they were given Trasylol during surgery. If you have experienced kidney problems resulting in dialysis, heart attack or stroke following surgery, you may have been given Trasylol and you may be entitled compensation.
