Tranexamic acid treatment of hemothorax in two patients with malignant mesothelioma

WA De Boer, MG Koolen, CM Roos and JW Ten Cate
Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Initiation of treatment with this potent anti-fibrinolytic drug resulted in rapid reduction of bleeding and of transfusion requirements.
