Aprotinin has been used clinically to enhance hemostasis for decades and was approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration in 1993 to reduce the transfusion requirement during coronary artery bypass surgery. Marketing of aprotinin ceased recently when observational studies and a randomized clinical trial reported increased cardiovascular toxicity in patients receiving this drug.
