Abstract
Three patients who had cardiac surgery developed a transient, noninflammatory subepidermal bullous eruption on the legs after epsilon-aminocaproic acid infusion. Fibrin thrombi were demonstrated in papillary dermal vessels. The use of epsilon-aminocaproic acid as an antifibrinolytic agent may predispose patients to cutaneous vascular thromboses.
