Prevention of Bleeding in Patient With Cirrhosis Undergoing Dental Extraction

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate how effective and cost saving 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (desmopressin, DDAVP) is as opposed to the transfusion of blood products in preventing bleeding after teeth extraction in persons with severe liver disease being evaluated for liver transplant.
