  • Title: Recombinant activated factor VII combined with desmopressin in preventing bleeding from dental extraction in a patient with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.
    Author: Lombardo VT, Sottilotta G.
    Journal: Clin Appl Thromb Hemost; 2006 Jan; 12(1):115-6. PubMed ID: 16444446.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 41-year-old woman with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia who underwent double dental extraction is presented. In the past, treatments with desmopressin (DDAVP) and tranexamic acid had often unsuccessful efficacy to stop or decrease bleeding. After ineffective DDAVP administration, the removal was performed successfully with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) infusion. rFVIIa infusion after DDAVP administration could be useful in patients with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia in which DDAVP and tranexamic acid weren't always effective.
