Abstract
Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) (NovoSeven®, Novo Nordisk, Bagsvaerd, Denmark) was originally developed to treat bleeding in haemophiliacs with antibodies to factor VIII and IX.12 At present, rFVIIa is approved in the European Union for this indication and also for the treatment of bleeding in FVII deficiency and Glanzmann thrombasthenia refractory to platelet transfusions.
