Abstract
We describe a patient with evolving myocardial infarction who underwent emergency intracoronary thrombolysis followed by immediate coronary artery grafting. Aprotinin was administered intraoperatively to control the potential bleeding problems associated with thrombolysis. Total postoperative blood loss was 260 mL. The case illustrates a further use for aprotinin in cardiac operations when excessive bleeding is anticipated.
