Recombinant activated factor VII in a patient with intracranial hemorrhage and severe thrombocytopenia

© 2021 The Authors. Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

Hemorrhage in patients with hematologic malignancies is often difficult to manage as many of these patients also have coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia of varying severity. Recombinant factor VIIa is a FDA-approved agent for management of bleeding in hemophilia patients with inhibitors. Use of recombinant FVIIa has also been used as a last resort in various clinical settings such as trauma, alveolar hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage for control of bleeding with variable outcomes. This paper presents a case of recombinant FVIIa administration in a patient with multiple myeloma and profound transfusion refractory thrombocytopenia suffering from traumatic subdural hematoma.
