Congenital factor VII deficiency in a patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
A patient with congenital factor VII deficiency underwent surgery for an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm. No references in the literature have been found on the management of this coagulation defect in patients who require vascular surgery. We present one such case, with special reference to the perioperative management of factor VII replacement therapy.
