Perioperative management of a redo aortic root replacement in a patient with severe factor XI deficiency

Factor XI deficiency is associated with significant bleeding in the setting of trauma and surgery. We present a patient with FXI deficiency and multiple red blood cell allo‐antibodies requiring repeat aortic root replacement and discuss the perioperative management of patients with FXI deficiency undergoing cardiac surgery.
