Von Willebrand’s disease in breast surgery: case report

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

Abstract Von Willebrand disease is an inherited disorder characterized by deficiency of von Willebrand factor, which contributes to platelet adhesion to the endothelium. Patients with coagulation disorders present a challenge at the time of surgery due to the high risk of presenting heavy bleeding within the procedure or postoperative hematomas. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman with Type 1 von Willebrand’s disease who was scheduled for breast explantation with autologous reconstruction, due to the presence of long-standing breast implants. The case was satisfactorily managed by a multidisciplinary team formed by plastic surgery, hematology, and anesthesiology, individualizing the management for the patient’s case, obtaining good results and a safe procedure.
