Hyperfibrinolysis; A Serious and Mortal Complication After Cardiopulmonary Bypasses: Case Report

Abstract

Hemorrhage is one of the major complications of cardiac surgery when using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Despite all kinds of medical and surgical treatment, post bypass bleeding is still a serious problem. Hypothermia, acidosis, hypovolemia, and hypoperfusion lead to disruption of the coagulation process in severe trauma as well as in CPB. Hyperfibrinolysis (HF) is a life-threatening bleeding disorder in major trauma patients. The incidence of HF has been estimated in the range of 15% to 20%. The gold standard for the detection of HF is thrombelastography or thromboelastometry. Blood products and tranexamic acid are used in the treatment of hyperfibrinolysis. The agents that can be used as an alternative to tranexamic acid in HF treatment are aprotinin and epsilon aminocaproic acid. Early diagnosis and treatment of HF are life-saving. For this purpose, we wanted to share this rare pathology.
