PEREZ PRADILLA, Andrea Carolina et al. Thromboelastography as a guide for transfusion therapy in a patient with Turner's syndrome, hypoplasia of the aortic arch and aortic coarctation, undergoing aortoplasty with sliding technique: Case report. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2012, vol.40, n.4, pp.318-322. ISSN 0120-3347. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rca.2012.05.009.
One of the most frequent lesions in congenital heart disease is hypoplasia of the aortic arch and the co-existence of aortic coarctation in older children, which is very difficult to treat. A new technique for treating this condition was recently described and it requires extensive suture lines and an accurate management of coagulation disorders associated with the use of extracorporeal circulation. We present a case of an 8 years and 9 months old girl with Turner’s syndrome, aortic coarctation and aortic arch hypoplasia that was admitted for sliding arch aortoplasty and received thromboelastography guided transfusion therapy.
