Abstract
rFVIIa may be beneficial in the short-term management of life threatening bleeding in some children with liver disease. This effect may be further enhanced with the additional use of octreotide. Furthermore, rFVIIa is useful for prophylaxis at invasive procedures, even without additional treatment with fresh frozen plasma. The possible risk of portal vein thrombosis needs to be considered.
