ABSTRACT
Man in his 70s, who had suffered from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), was admitted to our hospital with chest pain at rest. Coronary angiography revealed obstruction of the right coronary artery and triple vessel disease. Because a bleeding tendency was expected during coronary artery bypass grafting, we performed percutaneous coronary intervention to the culprit lesion first, and then intravenous immunoglobulin and high dose dexamethasone were tried. His platelet count rose from 49,000 to 103,000/mm3, so we performed coronary artery bypass grafting. The patient had no postoperative hemorrhagic complications. We believe that high dose dexamethasone therapy is useful for patients with ITP who need surgery immediately.
