Key Clinical Message: A multidisciplinary team approach, careful hemostasis, and factor replacement therapy are important in the perioperative management of hemophiliac patients undergoing pediatric cardiac surgery.

Abstract: The combination of congenital heart diseases (CHD) and hemophilia is rare; furthermore, heart surgery and perioperative management of such cases is challenging. This report illustrates the challenges of pediatric cardiac surgery in an infant with both hemophilia B and CHD. Multidisciplinary team approach, careful hemostasis, and factor replacement therapy were key to success without hemorrhagic complications before, during and after surgery.
