Abstract

Hemophilia A is an inherited bleeding disorder characterized by factor VIII deficiency. The basis for insufficient
hemostasis lies within inadequate amplification of factor Xa production with the undersupplied factor VIII.We report on
a young patient with critical aortic stenosis bearing all the clinical stigmata of severe hemophilia, in whom aortic valve
replacement was performed with a tissue valve in order to avoid the need for long term anticoagulation.
