- Human fibrinogen concentrate (FC) reduces surgical blood loss.
- Randomized trial involved 222 patients in Europe.
- Mean blood loss: FC 1381 mL vs FFP/Cryo 1660 mL.
- FC achieved fibrinogen target levels faster.
- Lower rebleeding and thromboembolic events noted in FC group.
- FC administration was quicker than FFP/Cryo.
- No treatment-related deaths in the study.
