Abstract
- A 76-year-old woman with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) was referred to our hospital due to severe aortic valve stenosis. We performed aortic valve replacement using a bioprosthetic valve. Her postoperative course was uneventful. She was discharged in good health on postoperative day 33. As for cardiovascular operations in APS patients, high rates have been reported of perioperative mortality and thromboembolic and bleeding events. Perioperative management of anticoagulation must be strict.
