  • Title: Aminocaproic acid prophylaxis in traumatic hyphema.
    Author: Wilson TW, Jeffers JB, Nelson LB.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1990 Nov; 21(11):807-9. PubMed ID: 2270168.
    Abstract:
    Oral aminocaproic acid has been shown to be effective in clot stabilization and in the reduction of secondary bleeding rates in cases of traumatic hyphema. In a retrospective study of 105 patients treated during a 1-year period, we found the incidence of rebleeding in patients with traumatic hyphema who received aminocaproic acid prophylaxis was 2%; the incidence in those who did not was 25%.
