Abstract

Cardiac surgery in patients with essential thrombocythemia carries the risks of both thrombotic events and a bleeding tendency. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with essential thrombocythemia who underwent successful surgical aortic valve replacement after his platelet count was controlled with plateletpheresis 3 times before surgery.

Keywords: Aortic valve; Cardiopulmonary bypass; Disease management; Heart valve prosthesis implantation; Thrombocythemia; Thrombosis; essential.
