title: [Mitral valve replacement in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia].
abstract: A 46-year-old female with mitral insufficiency complicated by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler's disease) underwent successfully mitral valve replacement. The patient had a history of repeated large-volume nasal bleeding. Mitral valve replacement using a xenograft was safely performed with various attempts for preventing abnormal postoperative hemorrhage.
