Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Yamagata Prefuctual Central Hospital, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- A 63-year-old woman developed agranulocytosis (a severe drop in white blood cells) shortly after undergoing aortic and mitral valve replacement surgery.
- The condition was likely triggered by bone marrow suppression from an antiarrhythmic medication and the use of extracorporeal circulation during the procedure.
- After treatment with G-CSF (a medication that stimulates white blood cell production), her white blood cell count significantly improved, and she did not experience any severe infections, leading to a stable recovery post-surgery.
