Summary
The aim is to conduct a double-blinded single-centre randomized controlled clinical trial of
application of topical dose of tranexamic acid (TA) versus the usual intravenous TA in
patients undergoing cardiac surgery at the Hamilton General Hospital. This pilot study will
assess the feasibility to perform a large randomized international trial exploring this
objective.
