The Food and Drug Administration issued a Public Health Advisory alerting doctors who perform heart bypass surgery, and their patients, that Trasyolol (aprotinin injection), a drug used to prevent blood loss during surgery, has been linked in two scientific publications to higher risks of serious side effects including kidney problems, heart attacks and strokes in patients who undergo artery bypass graft surgery.

"FDA is conducting a thorough evaluation of the safety profile for this drug in light of the recent publications," said Dr. Steven Galson, Director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "We're working to evaluate the potential risks and determine whether there is a need for further action. In the meantime, we advise providers to carefully assess the benefits and risks of the drug for their patients."

FDA advises health care providers to be aware of the following:

Physicians who use Trasylol should carefully monitor patients for the occurrence of toxicity, particularly to the kidneys, heart or central nervous system and promptly report adverse event information to Bayer, the drug manufacturer, or through the FDA Medwatch program.
Physicians should consider limiting Trasylol use to those situations in which the clinical benefit of reduced blood loss is essential to medical management of the patient and outweighs the potential risks.
FDA is working with the manufacturer to examine the safety and benefits of Trasylol in light of the recent data and the evolving practice of medicine.
Patients should discuss all major risks for heart bypass surgery with their healthcare providers. These include the risks for bleeding and the available ways to lessen the risk for bleeding.
