title: [Perioperative management for radical esophagectomy in a patient with polycythemia vera].
abstract: We experienced perioperative management of a 75 year-old patient with polycythemia vera (PV) who underwent transthoracic esophagectomy. After treatment for 14 days of ranimustine and hydroxycarbamid, the preoperative hemoglobin, hematocrit values and platelet count were 17.9 g.dl-1, 58% and 54 x 10(4).mm-3 respectively. During the perioperative period, phlebotomy, elastic stockings, intermittent pneumatic compression, infusion of nafamostat, and early extubation (the day of operation) were performed to prevent deep venous thrombosis. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 34 days after the operation.
