Intraprostatic injection of tranexamic acid to control refractory bleeding while maintaining therapeutic anticoagulation
UROLOGY CASE REPORTS(2020)
Abstract
Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been used to manage menstrual bleeding and reduce bleeding during orthopedic procedures, but has not been widely used in urology. We present a patient with refractory gross hematuria with required therapeutic anticoagulation who failed multiple other measures to control prostatic bleeding. This patient's hematuria abated with endoscopic localized injection of tranexamic acid into the prostate. The effects were durable with no bleeding recurrence reported while maintaining therapeutic anticoagulation.
