ABSTRACT
Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven (R)) was initially developed for the treatment of bleeding in patients with hemophilia having antibodies against factor VIII or IX, and factor VII deficiency. Although the precise mode of action is still elusive and there are just several hypotheses, recently case reports have suggested a role of rFVIIa in the management of intractable or life-threatening bleeding in some non-hemophilic patients who do not respond to conventional treatments. We report the successful use of rFVIIa in a pediatric patient with intractable gastrointestinal bleeding.
