title: [Aortic valve replacement presence of anti-Jr(a) antibody].
abstract: A 65-year-old female with a heart murmur developed progressive symptom of chest oppression. She was diagnosed severe aortic valve stenosis with echocardiogram. Antibody screening revealed anti-Jr(a) antibody. Preoperatively, erythropoietin was administered. Over 14 days, a total 1,000 ml of her blood was drawn and stored for autologous transfusion. The aortic valve was replaced with ATS mechanical valve [18 mm advanced performance (AP)]. Following surgery, her stored blood was administered to him. But her HCT was 17% on the 1st postoperative day. Frozen thawed red cells were transferred 7th postoperative day.
