  • Title: The role of tranexamic acid in the treatment of giant hemangiomas in newborns.
    Author: Morad AB, McClain KL, Ogden AK.
    Journal: Am J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 1993 Nov; 15(4):383-5. PubMed ID: 7605400.
    Abstract:
    Giant hemangiomas occurring in the neonatal period often present a therapeutic challenge, especially when confounded by consumptive coagulopathy (Kasabach-Merritt syndrome). We treated three infants with tranexamic acid after therapy with corticosteroids was ineffective. One patient had a partial response. The remaining two developed progressive disease.
