60 Minutes - Trasylol Exposed For Deadly Side Effects (Video) http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2008/03/02/trasylol-60-minutes-cardiac-bypass-death-video/#comment-3442 Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:18:04 +0000 http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2008/03/02/trasylol-60-minutes-cardiac-bypass-death-video/#comment-3442 Golly Adam, I saw this on 60 Minutes also... it's darned scary and makes you wonder what other drugs are out there and how devious drug companies can be. Since my surgery was January 2008, I am hoping trasylol was NOT used and I am afraid to ask my surgical team!!! I am surprised that mortality rates are so high in 5 years, period. Even the low rates at nearly 15%. Why is that, do you think? Do you think it is age related? Leslie Golly Adam,
