Abstract
Mitral valve replacement was able to be carried out at redo operation requiring neither allogeneic platelet nor blood transfusion in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, by means of preoperative high-dose intravenous gamma-globulin, autologous blood predonation, use of a centrifugal pump, heparin-coated extracorporeal circuits, and simultaneous splenectomy.
