Abstract |
Anecdotally, fibrinogen concentrate (FC) has been used as a "universal" haemostatic agent in complex post- cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) coagulopathy. We present a case where FC and two pools of platelets prevented life-threatening bleeding in a patient with moderate von Willebrand Disease (vWD) immediately post CPB.
