Abstract
Key Clinical MessageA multidisciplinary team approach, careful hemostasis, and factor replacement therapy are important in the perioperative management of hemophiliac patients undergoing pediatric cardiac surgery.AbstractThe combination of congenital heart diseases (CHD) and hemophilia is rare; furthermore, heart surgery and perioperative management of such cases is challenging. This report illustrates the challenges of pediatric cardiac surgery in an infant with both hemophilia B and CHD. Multidisciplinary team approach, careful hemostasis, and factor replacement therapy were key to success without hemorrhagic complications before, during and after surgery.
