ABSTRACT
We report a 30-year-old patient with von Willebrand disease who received AVR under cardio-pulmonary bypass. AR was diagnosed at the age of 13, and von Willebrand disease was revealed after cardiac catheterization because of a bleeding episode. His von Willebrand factor (vWF) activity was significantly low, 43% of normal. Infusion of vWF concentrates (Confact F<sup>®</sup>) was administered before surgery. AVR was safely performed and no bleeding complications occurred during the perioperative period. Blood transfusion was unnecessary, vWF infusion was considered to be very useful.
