[Use of rFVIIa in intractable hemorrhage in patients on central veno-arterial ECMO.]
The purpose of our study is to describe the use of recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) in patients on central veno-arterial ECMO with a particular attention on associated thrombotic complications. ⋯ The rFVIIa is a treatment of exception for patients on central veno-arterial ECMO and could be a last-resort treatment in the presence of a not curable massive bleeding.
