A 44-year old man with aortic regurgitation and aneurysm of the ascending aorta underwent an aortic valve-sparing procedure as a durable treatment before liver transplantation. Since patients with chronic liver failure are at high risk of hemorrhagic complications at time of major surgery, while management of warfarin administration may still represent a concern, the choice of a cardiac procedure which avoids any anticoagulant treatment appeared justified.
一位 44 岁男性因主动脉瓣反流和升主动脉瘤而行主动脉瓣保留手术,作为肝移植前的持久治疗。由于慢性肝功能衰竭患者在大手术时存在出血并发症的高风险,而华法林管理可能仍然是一个关注点,因此选择避免任何抗凝治疗的心脏手术似乎是合理的。
