Successful Replacement of Mitral Valve in a Patient with Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Abstract

We report a 51-year-old patient who was diagnosed with mitral insufficiency and was admitted to our hospital for surgical treatment. The patient was diagnosed with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) before 4 years and had a history of thrombocytopenia. Mitral valve replacement was successfully performed with postoperative strict anticoagulant therapy, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Cardiac surgery in APS patients has been associated with high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is very important to initiate anticoagulant therapy immediately after the operation to prevent thrombosis.
