title: [Managing of excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass].
abstract: The occurrence of abnormal bleeding in postoperative cardiac surgery performed under cardiopulmonary bypass is relatively common. If the option of reoperation is not retained, the initiation of medical treatment is inevitable. Next to the transfusion of blood products, other therapies were often used empirically and as "off-label". The place of each in a future regimen should be based on well-conducted clinical studies to determine the optimal risk/benefit ratio.
