Abstract
We report the case of an haemorrhagic shock observed in a woman who received heparin for a cardiac valve in mitral position, efficiently treated with rFVIIa. The haemorrhagic complications under anticoagulation treatment remain rare, but can lead to real therapeutic dilemma. The use of rFVIIa has been evaluated in different clinical situations, including traumatic or post-operative haemorrhagic shock. The use of rFVIIa in the treatment of haemorrhagic complication under anticoagulation treatment is discussed.
