Blood product showdown: which stops bleeding faster in heart surgery?

NCT ID NCT06144125

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial compares two blood products—prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP)—for controlling bleeding in people undergoing heart valve surgery. Doctors use a special test to guide which product to give and measure how quickly bleeding stops. The goal is to see which approach leads to faster bleeding control and less need for additional blood transfusions.
