Abstract
Factor VIII deficiency, also known as hemophilia A, is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. Deficiency of Factor VIII results in dysfunction of platelet aggregation due to decreased activation of Factor X to Xa. We present the case of a 68-year-old male with mild hemophilia A (Factor VIII activity, 16%) who underwent a three-vessel coronary artery bypass graft and patent foramen ovale repair, with no increased bleeding utilizing a recombinant Factor VIII (kogenate) preoperative bolus and continuous infusion. His postoperative course was complicated by a sternal wound dehiscence requiring washout, sternal wire removal and omental flap coverage on postoperative Day 21. However, he required no postoperative blood transfusions.
