The Law Offices of Nadrich and Cohen is representing Trayslol victims nationwide. Trayslol (“Aprotinin”) is a Serpin or Serine Protease inhibitor which has been used for the past three years in approximately one million cardiac and cardiac pulmonary bypass surgeries in order to prevent bleeding during cardio pulmonary bypass procedures.

Trayslol is manufactured and distributed by Bayer and has been approved since 1993 to control bleeding in open heart surgery and minimize the need for blood transfusions. It is used to reduce blood loss during surgery and to reduce the need for blood transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac or cardio pulmonary bypass surgery.

Unfortunately, the use of Trayslol increases the risk of kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes. This has been confirmed by the FDA in a report dated September 29, 2006. Moreover, Bayer, the manufacturer of Trayslol did not have a strong warning on the label warning doctors of the increased risk of death or kidney disease from the use of Trayslol.

On September 26, the FDA released a public health advisory advising that an FDA approved study concluded that Trayslol use may increase the chance of death, serious kidney damage, congestive heart failure, and strokes.

It has been estimated that as many as 10,000 patients yearly who have had cardiac or cardio pulmonary surgery and have experienced kidney failure leading to dialysis have been caused by Trayslol. If you experienced kidney failure either immediately or within 48 hours after your cardiac surgery, please call Nadrich & Cohen today to discuss your case.
