Abstract

Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare, hereditary, congenital disorder of platelet function characterized by inappropriate bleeding that is difficult to control. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) is a new treatment that is used to stop bleeding and provide surgical support for these patients. This report describes the use of rFVIIa to prevent serious bleeding during and after open-heart surgery in a child with Glanzmann thrombasthenia.
