Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare coagulation disorder that increases the risk of bleeding complications during surgery. Although laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS), it is rarely performed in patients with congenital coagulation disorders such as FVII deficiency, due to the high risk of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding. We report the case of a 57-year-old female with class II obesity (BMI 37.

Study Objectives: Reversal of warfarin-induced anticoagulation using prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC4) is more rapidly achieved than with traditional methods such as fresh frozen plasma (FFP). In many rural facilities the availability of both FFP and PCC4 has been limited. A tertiary hospital instituted a program to provide PCC4 to rural sites using an air transport team and pharmacy exchange.
