ConclusionsIn patients receiving tranexamic acid infusion at 50  mg/kg dose, reexploration rates remained at 4.1% even after major cardiac surgeries. No thrombosis, stroke, or seizure were reported. Our findings support that tranexamic acid is a safe drug which has positive effect on reducing perioperative bleeding.
