Aprotinin in Orthotopic Liver Transplantation [PDF]
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1993 Aprotinin is a protease inhibitor isolated from bovine lungs and othcr lissues. Its biochcmical struc!Urc, a single-chain polypeptide of 6.5 12 kD , and biophysical properties are weH defined. I The activity of commcrcial preparations of apralini n is usually describcd in kallikrein inac ti valor unils (KIU) , 0. 1 million KIU being equivalent 102.

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2012 In 2008, we saw the withdrawal of aprotinin from the US markets after preliminary results from a large, randomized clinical trial in Canada. This drug, a potent antifibrinolytic, was used primarily in complex and/or redo cardiac surgery as an adjunct to decrease postoperative bleeding and complications.

Aprotinin reduces cardiac troponin I release and inhibits apoptosis of polymorphonuclear cells during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery [PDF]
, 2008 Objectives: In addition to blood-sparing effects, aprotinin may have cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects during cardiopulmonary bypass-assisted cardiac surgery.

Aprotinin may increase mortality in low and intermediate risk but not in high risk cardiac surgical patients compared to tranexamic acid and ε-aminocaproic acid - a meta-analysis of randomised and observational trials of over 30.000 patients [PDF]
, 2013 Background: To compare the effect of aprotinin with the effect of lysine analogues (tranexamic acid and ε-aminocaproic acid) on early mortality in three subgroups of patients: low, intermediate and high risk of cardiac surgery.

Topical use of antifibrinolytic agents reduces postoperative bleeding: a double-blind, prospective, randomized study [PDF]
, 2007 Objective: Postoperative bleeding is still one of the most common complications of cardiac surgery. Antifibrinolytic agents successfully reduce bleeding, but there are controversies concerning adverse effects after their systemic use.

Inhibition of Plasma Kallikrein with Aprotinin in porcine endotoxin Shock [PDF]
, 1993 Activation of the contact phase of coagulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of septic shock. We wanted to determine if inhibition of plasma kallikrein can prevent arterial hypotension and liberation of kinins from kininogen, induced by an ...

Identification of an aprotinin antiviral domain [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1994 Digestion of the proteinase inhibitor aprotinin, by clostripain, a cysteine proteinase, yielded five oligopeptide fragments. Two fragments exhibited both antiviral and antibacterial activities, two fragments only antiviral activity, and one fragment showed no antimicrobial activity.

Randomized study of aprotinin and DDAVP to reduce postoperative bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery [PDF]
, 1994 BACKGROUND: Patients on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have an increased susceptibility to postoperative bleeding. Previous reports using desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) for the prevention of postoperative bleeding have given contradictory results, whereas ...
