✦ Synopsis

Surgical treatment was performed in 5 pts with intracranial (4 subdural, 1 intraventricular), and in 3 pts with abdominal bleeding by laparotomy. rFVIIa was used as last possibility for uncontrolled bleeding in 3 patients with acute leukaemia too. Results: Haemotasis was obtained in all patients; 6 pts were successfully treated surgically (4 subdural, 1 intraventricular and 1 GI bleeding). Conclusion: Therapy of life-threatening bleeding in haemophiliacs is now improved. rFVIIa is haemostatic agent also very useful in other haematological diseases, as leukaemia and thrombocytopenia.
