Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the 4G/4G genotype of the PAI-1 gene is associated with bleeding after cardiac surgery and whether it may influence the use of antifibrinolytic drugs. METHODS: After a case-control association study to compare the distribution of genotypes of the 4G/5G polymorphism of the PAI-1 gene (4G/4G, 4G/5G and 5G/5G) between cardiac surgery patients (n = 260) and...
