Objectif : Décrire un cas de saignement persistant et abondant, après le remplacement d’une valvule aortique et de l’aorte ascendante, traité avec succès par le facteur VIIa recombinant (rFVIIa). Les mécanismes proposés pour le rFVIIa sont discutés.

Éléments cliniques : Une femme de 75 ans, sans coagulopathie préopératoire, a subi le remplacement tissulaire d’une valve aortique et le remplacement de l’aorte ascendante supracoronaire à cause d’une sténose aortique sévère et d’un anévrysme de l’aorte ascendante. Après l’opération, elle a perdu beaucoup de sang, plus de 200 mL•hr-1 malgré une numération plaquettaire normale et des paramètres de coagulation près de la normale. La patiente a été réopérée, deux fois en sept heures et, malgré des paramètres de coagulation in vitro pratiquement normaux, a continué à saigner. De nombreuses unités de plasma frais congelé, de plaquettes et de cryoprécipités ont été administrées empiriquement. Nous avons donné ensuite une seule dose iv de 6 mg (107 µg•kg-1) de rFVIIa. Après quoi l’hémorragie a diminué à 440 mL pendant les 12 h suivantes.

Conclusion : Ce cas illustre l’usage du rFVIIa pour traiter des saignements réfractaires après une opération cardiovasculaire en présence de marqueurs de coagulation pratiquement normaux. D’autres études cliniques contrôlées et d’autres études de laboratoire contrôlées sont nécessaires à la définition du rôle du rFVIIa chez des patients en chirurgie cardiovasculaire.
