NATA Review
This is a case report on a successful use of recombinant factor VIIa in treating hematemesis in an 11-month-old infant who suffered with esophageal varices, hepatic dysfunction and previous necrotizing enterocolitis. Prior treatment with platelets, FFP and octreotide did not succeed in controlling the bleeding.
