Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Complications and Trasylol

CABG stands for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgeries and there are over 800,000 CABG procedures performed each year. These procedures alleviate the condition in individuals with advanced coronary artery disease that causes plaque deposits to form and dangerously inhibit the flow of blood to the heart muscles, and the majority of CAGB surgeries are completed without incident. However, a host of complications can occur as a result of a CABG operation, and patients should be very aware of the potential dangers that can occur should they undergo the procedure. The following is a list of complications that have been reported by CABG physicians and patients worldwide:

• Stroke
• Damage to the aorta
• Damage caused by emboli, a particle that circulates in the bloodstream
• Excessive blood loss
• Atheroembolism
• Stenosis
• Arrhythmias
• Myocardial infraction
• Angina
• Death

Trasylol is an injection that is used to prevent massive blood loss during CABG procedures when there are dangerous complications. Tragically, however, the very injection that is used to protect CABG patients has been implicated by two recent research studies linking Trasylol to an increased risk of kidney problems (like renal failure), heart attacks (like cardiac arrest and heart attacks), and strokes.

Thousands of CABG patients are currently debilitated as a result of their exposure to Trasylol. CABG patients who have experienced post-operative complications should discuss their case with attentive, aggressive, and knowledgeable attorneys immediately. If your health has been unjustly jeopardized, you deserve help and drug makers like Bayer need to be held accountable for their inaction and responsible must be brought to justice. Don't allow a Trasylol injection to disrupt your physical, emotional, and financial health any longer - call a Trasylol lawyer today.
