Trasylol Injury Claim (Aprotinin Injection)

Trasylol Defect Lawyer

Trasylol is manufactured by Bayer Healthcare and used during various heart surgeries, including coronary artery bypass graft surgery and cardiac bypass surgery.  Trasylol is an aprotinin injection that prevents excessive bleeding throughout the duration of these invasive heart surgeries.  Despite the value of this drug to control bleeding, it is now known that Trasylol can cause the following life-threatening side effects:

• Fatal anaphylactic reaction
• Fatal anaphylactoid reaction
• Kidney failure
• Cardiac arrest

Patients who have been administered Trasylol during heart surgery and who have experienced any of these potentially deadly side effects may have a Trasylol injury claim against Bayer Healthcare.  Post-operative studies on patients who were given Trasylol during surgery were found to have a 32% higher mortality rate than those who were not given the drug.  That is a significant finding and one which may have contributed to termination of Trasylol marketing in November, 2007.

Trasylol has also been used to treat bacterial infection of the heart valves, hemophilia, and excessive bleeding due to elevated plasmin levels in the blood.  If you have lost a loved one due to the dangerous side effects associated with Trasylol, contact a Trasylol defect lawyer immediately to discuss your rights and legal remedies.

Some drugs serve an invaluable roll during surgery.  However, no drug should unreasonably harm a patient who is already at risk during a complex surgical procedure.  Manufacturers of dangerous drugs have a duty to warn of potential life-threatening side effects.  Often times the FDA has to step in and issue 'black box warnings' that bring these harmful side effects to the attention of consumers.
