Abstract:
A 62-year-old man, who had been given a diagnosis of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), was admitted to our hospital for an operation for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Preoperative coronary angiography revealed severe triple vessel disease, and we chose to treat this first. The platelet count on his first admission was 2.1×104/μl and preoperative immunoglobulin infusion was introduced for 5 days. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) was performed safely with platelet transfusion, and he was discharged on the 14th postoperative day. Thirty-eight days later, graft replacement of AAA was performed with preoperative immunoglobulin infusion and no platelet transfusion, and he was discharged at the 11th postoperative day. Preoperative immunoglobulin infusion therapy and selection of OPCAB were useful to prevent perioperative bleeding complications. This is the first report of staged cardiac and aortic surgery in a patient with ITP.
