Cardiac Surgery with Extracorporeal Circulation in Severe Factor VII Deficiency

Abstract: We describe here successful open heart surgery with extarcor-poreal circulation and haemodilution in a child with severe congenital factor VII deficiency. Substitution therapy was realized with factor VII concentrate (SD proconvertin concentrate, Bio-Transfusion). This is the first report case of successful cardiac surgery in severe congenital factor VII deficiency.

“…Recent work using the thrombin generation test (TGT) has suggested that levels of 2 U dL )1 are sufficient to normalize the TGT although this has not been used to monitor replacement therapy [105]. Factor VII concentrate -For surgery, doses of FVII concentrate ranging from 8 to 40 U kg )1 every 4-6 h have been successfully used [89,[106][107][108][109]. Careful monitoring of patients receiving FVII concentrates is essential to prevent excessively high peaks and troughs.…”

“…[5] However, a review of the literature revealed only four reported cases of open heart surgery in patients with FVII deficiency. [5] In all of these cases, the FVII deficiency was less than 10%, and the replacement therapy was carried out to maintain the plasma FVII concentration at approximately 15% to 25%. The administration varied from a single dose to multiple doses or continuous infusion from as low as 11-25 mcg/kg to as high as a cumulative dose of >400 mcg/kg.…”

“…PCCs consist of other coagulation factors like II, IX, X and VIII, with which continuous infusion can have severe thrombogenic effects on patients who require continuous infusions. Effective management of FVIId patients has been proved by using virus inactivated FVII concentrates derived from plasma, even though theoretically it has a risk of infections transmitted due to transfusion [6,7].…”
