PG - 206-209 LID - 10.4103/aca.aca_228_20 [doi] AB - Patients with Antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS) are at high risk for both bleeding and thrombotic complications during cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In this case we present a patient with APLS and Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura who successfully underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) with CPB despite recent craniotomy for subdural hematoma evacuation. Anticoagulation for CPB was monitored by targeting an Activated Clotting Time (ACT) that was 2x the upper limit of normal. A multidisciplinary approach was essential in ensuring a safe and successful operation. FAU - Malviya, Sanjana A AU - Malviya SA AD - Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.
