    AbstractWe report a case of a 60 year-old woman with von Willebrand disease type I that was submitted to a mitral valve repair. The patient needed special care due coagulopathy and needed VIII factor (VIIIf) and von Willebrand factor (vWf), before, during and after surgery. There was no complication during or after surgery. Patient is asymptomatic nine months postoperatively. The correction of VIIIf and vWf allowed the realization of a safety surgery.
