    AbstractA 72-year-old patient was admitted for mitral valve replacement because of infective endocarditis. Severe intractable bleeding in the early postoperative period was successfully treated with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa). Thereafter, recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 16. The current clinical aspects and experience of rFVIIa use in cardiac surgery are discussed.
