[Coagulation Management During Open Heart Surgery Based on a Heparin Dose Sensitivity Test for Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome].
A 63-year-old woman with severe aortic regurgitation was admitted to our hospital due to congestive heart failure. She also had antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), necessitating strict coagulation management. Given her history of cerebellar infarction, deep vein thrombosis, and recurrent miscarriages, her thrombosis risk was higher, with all three types of antiphospholipid antibodies testing positive. Before the surgery, we created a heparin-activated clotting time (ACT) titration curve using the patient's blood, and the calculated ACT corresponding to the target heparin concentration of 3 U/ml was 650 seconds. We planned to administer heparin according to this target during cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient underwent an aortic valve replacement (AVR) using a bioprosthesis and was discharged without complications.
