[HSF] Fwd: STS MEMBER ALERT: FDA Issues Statement on Use ofAprotinin (Tra...

Claudia,
  It may be a "nice" drug, but it sure is getting an increasingly  dangerous 
reputation.  The FDA site is _http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/early_ 
(http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/early)   comm/aprotinin.htm.  Members should know that I've 
got absolutely no  financial interest one way or the other in regards to 
aprotinin.  However,  I believe its use should be limited to dialysis patients or 
patients undergoing  major aortic reconstructions.
 
Hal
