Use of cryoprecipitate coagulum to control tumor-bed bleeding. Case report.

Abstract	The case is presented of a 44-year-old woman who underwent reoperation under cardiac standstill for a recurrent left sphenoid wing meningeal hemangiopericytoma. Because of persistent accumulations of clot with clinical deterioration and shift on computerized tomography scanning, the patient was returned to the operating suite twice. At the second reoperation, hemostasis was finally achieved through the instillation of admixed cryoprecipitate, calcium, and activated thrombin.
