TXA in Combat Casualty Care—Does It Adversely Affect Extremity Reconstruction and Flap Thrombosis Rates?

Abstract

Given the increasing use of TXA in the combat casualties, concern over its impact on VTE rates and flap complications is of interest. However, in this early review, we did not find significant differences in patients who received TXA and those that did not. Further research is indicated to better determine the significance and the effect of TXA on complex limb salvages.
