Jehovah's Witnesses refuse allogeneic blood transfusions, which makes cardiovascular surgery challenging. Surgeons must minimize blood and fluid loss within one procedure.
We herein describe a 17-year-old male Jehovah's Witness with bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation and coarctation of the aorta. The procedures were performed in the following order: aortic valve replacement combined with Nick's aortic root enlargement, right axillary artery-bilateral external iliac artery bypass, and distal arch-descending aorta bypass.
Axillary artery-bilateral external iliac artery bypass maintained distal perfusion and reduced the amount of heparin during distal arch-descending aorta bypass surgery.
耶和华见证会拒绝异体输血,这使得心血管手术极具挑战性。外科医生必须在一次手术中尽量减少血液和液体的流失。
我们在此描述了一位 17 岁的男性耶和华见证会会员,他患有二叶式主动脉瓣反流和主动脉缩窄。手术按以下顺序进行:主动脉瓣置换术联合尼克氏主动脉根部扩大术、右腋动脉-双侧髂外动脉旁路术和降主动脉远段-降主动脉旁路术。
腋动脉-双侧髂外动脉旁路术维持了远段灌注,并减少了降主动脉远段-降主动脉旁路术期间肝素的用量。
