Abstract

Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive coagulation disorder that is characterized by prolongation of prothrombin time. Recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa) is widely used in the management of bleeding in patients with congenital FVII deficiency. We experienced anesthetic management of a patient with congenital FVII deficiency who was scheduled for laparoscopic colectomy using rFVIIa. We report a 67-year-old man with rectal cancer who was diagnosed with congenital FVII deficiency. He was scheduled for laparoscopic colectomy. General anesthesia was performed with propofol, remifentanil, and rocuronium without epidural anesthesia. For coagulation management, 1 mg of rFVIIa was intravenously administered before starting surgery. During surgery, FVII activity and prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) were maintained to be above 10 % and within the normal range (0.8-1.2), respectively. The surgery was uneventfully completed. We reported successful management of a patient with congenital FVII deficiency undergoing laparoscopic colectomy with monitoring of FVII activity and/or PT-INR.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
