Significant evidence has supported the benefit of using recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) to control of intractable bleeding in patients after cardiac surgery. In this prospective clinical study, we present a novel method to achieve intraoperative hemostasis by using a combination of platelets and rFVIIa during operations for acute type A aortic dissections.
