Recombinant Factor VIIa for the Prophylaxis of Perioperative Hemorrhage in a Patient With Congenital Factor XI Deficiency Undergoing Brain Tumor Neurosurgery
The authors report on the first successful use of recombinant activated factor VII for the prophylaxis of bleeding during brain tumor neurosurgery in a patient suffering from inherited factor XI deficiency. Using the agent, surgery was performed without any bleeding complications. In this setting, off-label use of recombinant activated factor VII appears to be a promising alternative for patients suffering from this rare hemostatic defect with hitherto limited therapeutic options.
