ResumoIn Brief BACKGROUND Postoperative bleeding may be complicated by failure to identify the site of bleeding, multiple bleeding points, and persistent hemorrhage despite surgical intervention. CASE Activated recombinant factor VII was used successfully in a patient with life-threatening postsurgical bleeding after resection of two large extraperitoneal pelvic sarcomas. CONCLUSION In severe hemorrhage, hemostasis can be achieved with activated recombinant factor VII. Hemostasis was achieved with one dose of activated recombinant factor VII in a patient with life-threatening intractable bleeding after gynecologic surgery.
